Art Museum Perspective Drawings

During this lesson students learned about American artist, Norman Rockwell, and his famous illustrations. They used two-point perspective to create these wonderful museum paintings and then inserted a digital self-portrait into their work to make it appear as if they are viewing the art in their own museum designs.

4th Graders Visit the High Museum of Art

Our fourth grade students had a great time learning about art and literacy at the High Museum this week! They experienced the I See Literacy Tour during our visit which teaches students how to read artwork in the same way we read text by looking carefully at the artwork to see its details and making inferences based on what you see. They also participated in a hands on workshop to illustrate their own book cover inspired by an actual work of art from the museum! Way to go students!

Jim Dine Inspired Monoprints

Our second graders have been busy learning about symmetry, texture, and the monoprints of American artist Jim Dine.

It's Snowing in the Art Room

Our third through fifth graders had some fun with symmetry and snowflakes on the
last day before winter break! Check out some of their beautiful designs!

Reductive Printmaking

Our fifth-graders have been creating beautiful observational drawings of birds and now these fun and exciting prints through the medium of reductive printmaking.

Our students had an awesome day visiting the Atlanta Botanical Gardens while connecting art, language arts and science! While viewing the sculptures of glass artist, Dale Chihuly, students created alliterations, wrote Haikus, used persuasive writing and more while writing about the art they viewed. Students also took time to sketch and create drawings while viewing these amazing works of art! Of course we also connected science to our trip with all of the plants and even the poison dart frogs that students enjoyed seeing in the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center.

Frida Kahlo Inspired Self-Portraits

Third grade students were inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and her self-portraits as they created their own self-portraits while learning about the rules of correct proportion. Students also used their knowledge of space to create a background with animals and plants from the rainforest.
