Fifth Grade has finished 4 projects. We started the year with patterned fish for the Square One fundraiser. Next we learned about radial symmetry and drew trees filled with pattern, some radial. Our last two projects focused on the art of the American artist Alexander Calder. First we painted abstract paintings after looking at his artwork. Next we made a “stabile” using card stock after looking at his mobiles and stabiles. Here the student’s engineering as well as artistic skills were used. ~ Mrs. Hardt

Third Grade has worked on 5 projects so far. We started with watercolor suns from Mexico for our Square One project. Next we learned about Pablo Picasso and made Cubist style Halloween themed collages. Then we learned about value in color and a few facts about Jellyfish to do a chalk drawing on top of our value paintings. (A bit of STEM ). We learned that the Paisley patterned originally came from India and Persia and we painted gold paisley shapes and then added pattern to them with oil pastels. Now we are learning about how to draw a landscape and show depth in our artwork. ~Mrs. Hardt

First Grade has done 7 lessons so far. We started with owls for the Square One fundraiser. Next we read The Beautiful Oops and made oops art. Then we focused on different types of line and made an abstract line painting. After that we made three dimensional line sculptures where the students had to use their engineering as well as artistic skills. We then focused on color and mixed colors to make fall trees. Next we studied one of Kandinsky’s paintings to create an abstract oil pastel drawing using circles in different color combinations, we also made a group piece. Our last project used texture to make Starry Night Paintings with collage like Vincent Van Gogh. ~Mrs. Hardt
