1st Grade: Shapes, Collage, Collagraph Prints OH MY!

2/22/2017

1 Comment

 
This project began with the introduction of Geometric versus Organic shapes and where they can be found in our environment. With this knowledge students ripped colored paper to create a collage then draw 6-8 shapes of their choice. Using construction crayons to fill in their shapes students were able to experiment with color blending. The second day student created a printing plate that consisted of cut pieces of cardboard onto a larger rectangular piece of cardboard that they then used a briar to roll ink upon to then press their collage onto to get the desired effect.

Students learned about traditional Aboriginal Dot paintings and what animals mean to Australian culture. Using previous knowledge of creating a silhouette students created animals to cut and paste to their pieces of black paper. Using the end of a paint brush students meticulously created colorful dots following design patterns made with construction crayons.

Kindergarten: Piet Mondrian Animals

2/3/2017

0 Comments

 
For this project students were introduced to the artist Piet Mondrian along with the three Primary Colors. Students began with drawing large scale animals then used horizontal and vertical lines to mimic Mondrian's famous style. Using acrylic paint, students practiced controlled painting skills to keep their Primary Colors from mixing together. The final step was to create a border for their animals using the same techniques except with marker instead of paint.
