It's already time for a new rotation of classes! My new group starts tomorrow, Wednesday, September 29th. If your student is in art right now, they will rotate to Arts and Humanities tomorrow.
During this rotation here are some things we recently started and will finish when this rotation returns to art:
Fifth grade is starting on their Graffiti Arts: The Good and The Bad project. We are using oil pastel techniques to make our graffiti appear like it was sprayed on our paper.
Third grade is starting on their Georgia O'Keefe geometric/organic flower project.
Kindergarten started working with patterns. They met Patty the pattern turtle and are working to color her shell in an ABAB pattern using warm or cool colors.
First grade is finishing their Guided Drawing of the Rainbow Fish. They will begin their ideas for their upcoming Oil Pastel Symmetrical African Mask project.
Second grade is learning about geometric and organic shapes. They learned that Pablo Picasso loved geometric shapes and Henri Matisse loved organic shapes with the book When Pigasso Met Mootisse. They will be learning to draw portraits using ideas from this book.
Fifth grade will have an artist in residence working with them starting in November. They will be working on tiles for a tile mural installation for Byck Elementary. The project will be created with the help of the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft.
I am currently working on a grant to have Michelle Amos, a Louisville artist, to come work with my third graders on making Native American Kachina Dolls.
Discover classes start on Friday, October 8th. My class this year is called Advanced Art: Think Big! We will be doing very large scale paintings and other advanced art projects.
I will be updating again soon about my new addition to my class. I have a student teacher coming to work and learn in my classroom. She is from Murray State University. She will be in my classroom October 4th through early December.
