Kindergarten: Shapes

Kindergarten examined a work of art by Kandinsky to search for and identify shapes. Now they are brushing a glue + water mixture to collage tissue paper shapes into an abstract composition. The bleeding tissue adds an element of exploration and excitement as colors spread and mix. 

Stay tuned for the next step in this art making adventure.

Third Grade: Forms

Third grade students first practiced controlling the pressure of their pencil to draw and shade forms. They are now putting the finishing touches on their imaginary 3-d cities. Using color pencils the students ave learned to blend colors and change pressure to create tints and shades. They are now aware of how shadows are not really black but a darker shade of the color of the surface.
