Kindergarten just finished learning about Louise Nevelson!

They created artwork using all found materials; paper tubes, wood, egg cartons and cardboard! Each class voted on a class color to paint all their inspired works of art!

Second graders are creating hand built coil pots from clay! This week their pots will be fired in our classroom kiln. Next week, students will learn about glaze and be able to paint their pots using fabulous colors!

Our classroom sink at the end of the day!

Fifth graders have been learning about the following color schemes; monochromatic, analogous and complementary colors and using each color scheme within their artwork! I can't wait to post their finished work inspired by Andy Warhol and Georges Rodriques!

First grade has been working with clay to create beads formed like spheres and cubes! They have been working so hard. Their beads will be fired in the kiln for the following week and stained with paint. First graders also created a circular slab for the main focus of their necklace. Students were able to use different objects to create patterns and textures in their clay. Students will then string their clay spheres and cubes in a pattern on a colored wire along with cylinder shaped straws for spacing.

Be sure to slow down and take a look at all the Fall colors around you. Many of the colors that you see outside are WARM colors; red, yellow and orange. Leaves are starting to change colors and fall from the trees. If you see a unique leaf, pick it up and bring it to the art room to share with others!

First graders have been mixing primary colors to create secondary colors this week! As you can see they definately worked hard using their paint palettes!
