The theme for the first nine weeks was definitely color! We discussed warm and cool colors, primary and secondary colors, and complementary colors in all grades. Here is what Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grae have been up to...
Second Graders discussed the work of Romare Bearden and his collages. The students were tasked with locating warm or cool colors in magazines and using the images to create a collage.
This next project is a favorite for First Graders...Kandinsky's Concentric Circles! We looked at a powerpoint presentation of Kandinsky and his work. The students learned that he was from Russia, and his first name was "Wassily". After dividing their papers into eight smaller squares, the children used tempera paint to recreate one of Kandinsky's most famous images.
Kindergarten used bright shapes to create designs in construction paper. Each child was asked about their art. See some examples below!
