Art Room





        Students are showing off their creativity and originality in the art room. Their artwork is getting more advanced, original, and detailed as the year progresses. Below are some examples of what each grade level is working on in art.

         1st grade has been learning about symmetry and creating art that is the same on both side.They were challenged to make symmetrical art work using the cardboard center, collage center, painting center, or drawing center.

2nd Grade has been transforming their robot drawings into their choice of a collage, sculpture, or painting. 2nd graders are challenged to add as much detail as they can in their projects by incorporating various buttons, bolts, gears, wires, wheels, claws, antennas, battery packs, and other accessories.

3rd Grade took their super hero drawings to the next level by turning them into comics, collages, sculptures, paper outfits, mixed media, and paintings.

4th grade has been creating prints with radial symmetry. As you can see below, students carve radial designs into styrofoam to make a printing block (in other words a stamp). Students then roll ink on their printing block and stamp it on their painted paper 4 times so that a radial design emerges.












 5th Grade has been learning various water color 
techniques, as seen in the pictures above. Students are beginning to incorporate these techniques into their own, unique artwork that they design.

Sixth grade students finished designing their theme parks, and are now working on recreating their favorite ride in the online app called Tinker cad. Their Tinker cad creations will then be 3D printed into mini sculptures like the example below. I can not wait to see how sixth grade's 3D prints turn out in the next couple weeks.
