Our final project as 1st graders is Van Gogh Sunflowers. We will be using oil pastels and paints to color and create work similar to Van Gogh's bright and beautiful sunflower images.
2nd Grade: Faith Ringgold Painting
We will complete our drawings based on Faith Ringgold's Tar Beach and story quilt series. If you could fly, what would you fly over?
3rd Grade: Egyptian Clay Slabs
We will begin a complete our project involving Egyptian Art and Chicago..hmmm.
4th Grade: Guatemalan Weaving
Our new project is learning about the Guatemalan culture and weaving!!! We have warped our looms and are now beginning Tabby and Basket-weave. We will learn four-five different weaving techniques by the end of this project. Once we get into weaving, we will learn about printmaking and alternate our time between printing and weaving!
5th Grade: One Point Perspective and Masks
Students will learn how to create block letters and create a word in one point perspective. This project will be accompanied by mask-making. Students will use plaster to design their own mask and add a touch of creative color!
***Please note if your student has allergies or asthma and you are concerned with the plaster gauze material we will be using, please contact Miss Smeltzer to discuss our options.
Thanks you.
