Kinder's Funny Face Pumpkins

It is that time of year where pumpkins are everywhere! What a better way to introduce a little color mixing (red + yellow=orange) and cutting and gluing skills in Kindergarden.

Kandisnky's Abstract Squares

4th and 5th Graders started thier unit on Abstract Art by studying the father of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky. In addtion they had a color family review by having  to have one square primary, one secondary, one warm and one cool. They used oil pastels and water color as thier media.



International Dot Day

We started this school year celebrating creativity with a whole school activity of reading, The Dot, by Peter Reynolds. We are keeping with the theme of "making a mark and seeing where it takes you" and continuing with a unit on Abstract Art. Every grade level is studying a different famous abstract artist and learning what makes art "abstract" and abstract work "art". Sometimes hard to discipher.
