1st and 2nd grades are studying sumi-e painting. Sumi-e painting is an asian art where the artists take black ink and a bamboo brush to create eloquent drawings. After watching a short video about sumi-e painting and looking at different sumi-e paintings, the students created their own sumi-e paintings.
3rd and 4th grades are studying pointilism and the artist George Seurat. George Seurat created his paintings by using thousands of small dots or 'points' of bright color. Instead of the artist mixing all of the colors together, pointilism make the person looking at the art use their eye to mix the colors. It's a very cool kind of art.
