Third graders dazzled these takes on Van Gogh's famous bouquets. Students used their imaginations to invent their own kinds of bouquets all while thinking about direction, sizing and filling the space. Blending paint and mixed media bring these to life.

These One Point Perspective Imploding Planets really challenged the 5th grade in which they were more than up for doing. Between shading, measuring, creating angles, painting, learning new painting techniques these one of a kind pieces stun. Students had to color match, blend and work with Prismacolor Colored pencils to create these beautiful insects. 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. 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. 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. Students learned about the world of Self Portraits along with two Cubist Painters; Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Students used multi-media to create these vibrant pieces. 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. 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. 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. |
