Kindergarten students have been working hard in the art room. We practiced different kinds of lines and then used those lines to create a "blanket" with rainbow order stripes. Ask your Kindergarten student if they can tell you the rainbow order of colors. The students are now finishing up a focus on shapes and cutting. We are creating a house picture inspired by "Rainbow Row" in Charleston, SC. First graders looked at pictures of New York City and created silhouettes of the buildings that they saw. Then we used the PRIMARY colors to paint the sky. It was fun to see the new colors that the primary colors made. We are now working on a sunflower project. Second grade students and Mrs. Leszewicz's class drew some fall leaves and created watercolor paintings using warm or cool colors for the leaves and the opposite group for the background. The students are now finishing up a paper weaving based on Navajo Indian blankets. They are including Native American picture writing symbols in their blanket design. Third grade students also drew leaves but they used their overlapping leaf drawing to create some interesting repeating lines for the background. Third graders are currently working on a painting inspired by American artist Georgia O'Keeffe.
