It has been another amazing year of art. Each year I am so impressed by the kiddos' creativity and energy. I ended the year on maternity leave, I had a beautiful baby girl. Here are a few pictures of what we were up to before I left. 4th graders completed their Pop Art cup cake art, here are a few more pictures. 1st graders created jungles inspired by Henri Matisse. 2nd graders created abstract and realistic fish. They also explored water color. Kindergarteners completed their Lions and Monet gardens. 3rd graders loved weaving! 2nd graders got creative with the leftover tiny pencils. 1st graders learned about printmaking and Andy Warhol. Mrs. Allan's class made Spring bunnies. Later, they created firefly art work.

I am so sorry it has been so long since an update! Well, we have been working hard in the art room, so much has been going on.... Mrs. Allan's class created Batiks. They created lines out of glue, let it dry, then painted their fabric. After soaking, the glue came out, leaving interesting white lines in their dyed fabric. 4th grade artists created cup cake sculptures, and drew them realistically. They learned about artists Wayne Thiebaud and Claes Oldenburg. In 2nd grade we talked about the difference between abstract and realistic art. We explored water color and 2nd grade artists will have the choice to create abstract or realistic fish over their backgrounds. This project was also used to enter into the Sooper Yooper art contest at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. After creating their Kente Cloths, 1st grade artists looked at Henri Rousseau's jungles. They are creating their own jungles and will be adding a tiger to it. Kindergarten artists are preparing painted paper for the mane of their lion. DK artists were able to explore printmaking with mono prints.
