Art k-2

Quarter 1, Week 2, 2017

“See, Think, Wonder”:  Kinder, First, Second and Third Grade

·       Each class will start by looking at a different example of artwork. 

·       K-3 will draw a quick sketch of the image of artwork. In addition, second and third graders will take brief notes, labeling their drawing.  (What they SEE)

·       After silently looking at the artwork, thinking about what it represents, and forming some questions about the work, we will discuss as a class.

o   SEE (Elements of Art)

o   THINK (Personal Opinion)

o   WONDER (Further consider the context and content of the artwork and feelings expressed by artist, as well as the artist’s motivations)

Kinder and First Grade:

We completed a paper cut out and colored collage based off of “The Snail”, by Matisse      

Matisse “The Snail”

We also read “Henri’s Scissors” and learned how to draw stars, as illustrated in the children’s book.

This upcoming week we will read “The Shape of Things” and create another cut-paper collage, replicating the illustrations in the text.

First Grade:

 Sketchbook drawings after Picasso and Matisse self-portraits:

                  

Second and Third Grade:

Students began self-portraits:

We learned about proportions of the face.

We made blind contour drawings of our hands and learned about this exercise by looking at other student work (online examples) as well as a hand study by Albrecht Durer
