4th Grade: Those Hands

3/12/2025

0 Comments

 
The world of Contour art has always been one of the most fascinating to me, especially Blind Contour where you have to rely more heavily on your observation skills versus the paper you're working on. Fourth graders never disappoint with these creations drawing inspiration from Sedef Yilmabasar of Istanbul, Turkey.

3rd Grade: On the Fence

2/20/2025

For this unit students learned about their Design Element, Texture. Texture is such an interesting Design Element when it comes to art due to the illusion it creates. Students got to familiarize themselves with various textures then applied that knowledge to Street Art wings. Glueing and painting a fence for their background was fun to include a tangible item to otherwise flat two dimensional paper.

5th Grade: Those Trees

This unit is one of my personal favorites because students learn the true meaning of why warm colors are warm and cool colors are cool. Saturation levels are learned along with Silhouettes. Students meticulously take care not to put the same color next to itself throughout the entire piece.

4th Grade: Glennray Tutor

Students for this unit learned about artist Glennray Tutor, who is a master at the art movement Photorealism. Students drew from observation two marbles, which is no easy feat when looking into glass taking on the reflections of the room and shadows. Students used Prismacolor colored pencils for their marbles and chalk pastel for the shadows their marbles created.

5th Grade: Out there in Space

This unit is by far a new favorite for One Point Perspective. Using angles and finding their vanishing point students cleverly pieced together these supernovas. Using value shading and paint helped the optical illusion. Watercolor backgrounds for their galaxies makes these pieces stand out.

3rd Grade: Analogous Color Silhouettes

4/30/2024

For this unit students learned about the Design Element Line. Using a continuous line students made a maze that was their foundation for a silhouette of a creature. Using analogous color groups students had to figure out color placement. Framing in their work makes for quite the piece in these stunning works.

4th Grade: Blind Contour Art

Always a favorite, when students get to explore one line without the pressure of perfection. Blind contour art is just the thing to step into the world of Sedef Yilmabasar's design and color. I always enjoy seeing what textile patterns students imagine throughout their works.

5th Grade: Oaxaca

2/27/2024

This is just about the favorite of all projects to fifth graders. Learning about the Oaxacan culture and the story behind the famous Oaxacan animal. Students had to pick through wooden pieces to figure out their animals, how they are to balance and stand on their own. The intricacy of their designs painted with tiny brushes they had to practice patience to learn control of the materials.

3rd Grade: Building Blocks

Students knocked this one out of the park not only with Learning new Design Elements such as Form and Value but how to figure spacing those pieces out in a three dimensional room. Students chose color carefully and had to consider light and how that affects a space and color.
