January Mystery Artist
1. Born in Minneapolis on November 26, 1922, this artist knew as early as Kindergarten that he wanted to be a cartoonist.
2. In 1949, he submitted some of his comic strips called "Li'l Folks," but the publishers insisted on calling them "Peanuts" since "Li'l Folks" was too similar to another comic strip. The artist was very upset about it's new title.
3. On October 2, 1950 this nutty comic made its debuts in seven newspapers. The comic strips told the story and challenges of a wishy-washy boy, his beagle, and neighborhood friends. Many of the challenges and failures of the characters were inspired by the artist's actual life.
1st Grade- Monet Bridges: We will continue learning about Impressionist Artist, Claude Monet. Students will begin building their own bridges based on Claude Monets ever popular Japanese footbridge. Students will color their bridges with oil pastels.
2nd Grade- Legs of Degas: Students will continue learning about the artist, Edgar Degas and his French Impressionist style. We will begin creating our own 'Legs of Degas'. Students will finish sketching their shoes, clues and backgrounds.
3rd Grade- Wright Mansions: We will continue learning about architecture and local artist Frank Lloyd Wright! Students will begin creating their own facades of their dream mansion.
4th Grade-M.C. Escher Hands and Aboriginal Art: We will be focusing on sketching our hands as realistically as we can. We will consider lines, shapes, forms, and spacing. Other classes that have finished their Escher projects will move on to study Aboriginal Art.
5th Grade-Pop Art Painting: We will use the works of Andy Warhol and other Pop Artists to learn about color and the color wheel. Students will be picking their Pop Art subject matter and sketching it on canvas board. We began with primary colors and now are moving on to Secondary and Complementary colors!
Art Folder 11 Please answer in 3 complete sentences.The Louvre in Paris is one of the foremost art museums in the world. The structure was originally a royal fortress built in the 12th century. In 1546, a new building was erected on the site, and more have been added over the years to house a collection that includes the Venus of Milo. Every year, more than 5 million visitors view these masterpieces.
If you could visit any museum, which one would you choose? What do you want to see there?INFORMATION REGARDING:The Darien Woman’s Club Charity Fund, Inc.
