Open Studio in the Art Room!

Students are enjoying having our open studio time this school year to catch up on their art projects or simply extend their creativity each morning in the art room! I'm so proud of their hard work and dedication!

Radical Radial Weavings

Third graders are rocking out these radical radial weavings! They are busy learning all about weaving techniques while making beautiful works of art and incorporating a variety of colors schemes into their designs as well!

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.
