Did you ever notice lines are all around us!? Kindergartners spent the week learning about lines through reading the book "Lines that Wiggle." In the story, the lines were having so much fun that we decided to make the different lines we saw with our bodies! I think our favorite was the wiggley lines. Next week kindergarteners will get a chance to feel pumpkins in the art room to help them learn more about curvy lines so they can use them to draw their very own pumpkin patch.

The first graders got a special surprise this week. After we learned about Claude Monet and his garden through reading "The Magical Garden of Claude Monet," thanks to special passports, we were able to take a field trip all the way to France to visit Monet's Garden! While in the garden we made observations and drew what we saw. I hate to say it, but I think the first graders drew Monet's garden better than he ever did... |

If you were colors, would you be warm or cool colors? Second graders were asked to ponder this question to determine which colors they would be using in their project. We listened to music to help get our creative juices flowing while we painted using watercolors.

Halloween is just a couple weeks away! What better way to prepare than by making spooky houses! Before making our spooky houses, 3rd graders learned about monochromatic colors to help us create our backgrounds.
4th and 5th
4th and 5th graders worked on observational drawing this week. Before heading outside to draw contour line trees, 4th graders practiced first by tracing tree images on the Smartboard. The 5th graders learned how self-portraits inspired today's "selfies," and practiced self-portrait drawing. 5th graders focused on drawing what they saw- no football shaped eyes here! |
