Second Grade- Unit 1 Changes in Nature Collage Critiques

Second grade artists worked very hard on creating a collage showing change in nature.  They were able to choose to create their artwork showing realistic change or imaginary change.  We ended the unit with an special TAG (Tell the artist something you like about their work, Ask the artist a question, Give the artist a suggestion) critique.

Fifth Grade- Unit 2- Word Play using Clay

Fifth grade artists just started their unit 2 project with a clay studio sprint.  We spend some time learning about clay and trying out various clay techniques.  Soon, they will choose an idiom or phrase and create a clay sculpture to visually convey their chosen word play.

After learning about clay techniques and planning their design, fifth grade artists quickly began molding their creative ideas into sculptures that visually depict their chosen idiom.

Fourth Grade- Unit 1: Portraits

 Fourth grade artists have been working hard making a portrait of someone they love, which connects to the Wit and Wisdom curriculum theme "Great Love".  They could choose to create art of someone they love realistically, as a cartoon super hero, or abstractly with a silhouette and symbols of their loved ones personality.  They also were able to choose from three different materials to add color such as: chalk pastels, oil pastels or tempera paint.

Students were also able to share their finished portrait in an art critique.
