Here is an update on what your artists have been working on in class:
Kindergartners have been working on collages incorporating the small artworks they finished a few weeks ago ago as they explored various lines and organic vs. geometric shapes. These are looking fantastic!
1st grade finished a printmaking project in which they created multiple prints of their new symbols for "home." These turned out beautiful, and I'm so impressed with the variety of symbols!
After viewing and discussing images of Alebrijes (spirit animal sculptures) found in Oaxacan folk art, 3rd graders drew their own spirit animals, focusing on the silhouettes. They drew and cut out these silhouettes on foam and have been making multiple prints of these silhouettes. They will cover their prints with patterns so they can be ready for a special surprise in a few weeks!
4th grade is continuing to plan their class murals (this is hard work, but it will pay off!). Two weeks ago, they worked on a collaborative artmaking activity, and last week they made a list of what they wanted to learn to draw in order to make the mural successful.
More updates to come soon!
