1. He was born in Lawnton, Pennsylvania in 1898. From the time he was a little boy, he was fascinated by stars and planets and how machines worked.
2. As a kid, he enjoyed making toys out of objects he found, (buttons, cloth, string, wire, and more). He made these toys throughout his teen years.
3. He was best known for his moving sculptures called mobiles. He made them out of abstract metal shapes and painted them his favorite colors.
4. Many of his mobiles were based on images from the solar system. He made them to float in space naturally whenever a breeze came along.
Kindergarten: Lines and Harold and the Purple Crayon
Students will begin learning about lines and how we use lines to create. We will use the story, Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson to discuss the definition of a line especially a horizon line. We will create a landscape image using a purple crayon and paints!!
First Grade: Nez Perce' Woven Bags
We have begun studying Early Native Americans, the Nez Perce' tribe and their Cornhusk Woven Bags. Students are learning weaving techniques and vocabulary as they create their own woven paper bag.
Second Grade: Legs of Degas
Students will begin learning about the artist, Edgar Degas and his unique Impressionist style. Students will learn about movement and the Impressionist style. We will create our own images that capture movement focusing on drawing the feet in action. We will use oil pastel and paints.
Third Grade: Japanese Landscape
Students have begun prepping their papers for Japanese Landscapes. We will be using charcoal, chalk pastels and paints. We will explore the Japanese culture including Sumi-e painting, Japanese Calligraphy and a day of Origami.
Fourth Grade: M.C. Escher Hands
We are finishing our projects about Pablo Picasso and his style of Cubism. Students will then begin learning about the artist, M.C. Escher and is play with optical illusion. Students will begin working with value, texture, depth, and charcoal in their artworks.
Fifth Grade: Keith Haring Symbolism
We will then begin studying the artist, Keith Haring and work with symbolism. We will practice creating the human form in motion. We will simplify our drawings into symbolic messages while painting.
