Mystery Artist Clues for September: Eric Carle
October: Pierre Auguste Renoir
November: Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson)
December Mystery Artist :
1. Born in Moscow on Dec. 4, 1866, this artist gave up his legal career to study, teach, create, and write about Art. he is now considered on of the first artists to create "pure" abstract art.
2. His parents were both musicians so at an early age he learned to play the piano and zither. Music played an important part in his life and art.
3. He felt colors were like instruments to create abstract creations. For example, yellow appeared to him like the sound of a trumpet, black was silence, and red either a tuba or a violin. His works were a symphony of colors and shapes.
Students will complete the final touches on their own paper woven bag and stuff them with fruits and veggies. We will then begin learning about the French Impressionist Artist, Claude Monet and his Impressionist Style!! Painting here we come....
2nd Grade: Legs of Degas and a bit of Winter Creativity!
We will turn our classroom into a cave to create a fun atmosphere to complete our Rock Art drawings! Students will then begin learning about the artist, Edgar Degas. Students will focus on capturing movement within their upcoming painting.
3rd Grade: Origami
Students will complete their landscape paintings in the Sumi-e style. Finally they will title the work and celebrate with a bit of Origami time!!
4th Grade: M.C. Escher Hands
We will begin sharing images of M.C. Escher art. We will begin sketching our own versions of M.C. Eschers, Drawing Hands, print. Students will begin drawing their own life-size, realistic hands using pencils and charcoal.
5th Grade: Haring Paintings
Students will begin studying the artist, Keith Haring. They will learn about his 1980s Pop Culture style of using symbolism and simplified images. Students will create 3 art pieces from this unit including: marker/colored pencil designs, painting, and chalk drawings.
