1st Grade: Non-Objective Artwork

The first grade worked very hard on their non-objective artwork.  The project started with using unconventional materials to print with paint.  The students used Styrofoam cups and black paint to print a lot of circles however they chose onto a white sheet of paper.  Students then colored in the various shapes that were created from overlapping circles.  This was followed by using a balloon, that wasn't blown up all the way, to print a second layer on their paper.  Then, students were given the creative freedom to cut-up their print however they chose as well as donated scrap, scrapbooking paper to create non-object art.  Remember, when making non-objective artwork, you don't want it to look like anything recognizable!

I'm glad I could provide her a "chalk-grinch"

Kindergarten: Snowman Names

The kindergarten have worked very hard in art class creating their snowman names.  Each student practiced writing out their name and counting how many letters are in their name to make sure they have enough snow to build their names into a snowman.  Of course we couldn't help ourselves identifying all of the shapes a snowman is made up of.  I am very proud of the kindergarten and their glue skills--dot, dot, not a lot!
