Greetings from the Art room! The shelving in the art room storage closet was installed this week so it's a lot easier to find the necessary art materials that students need in order to create art. The 1st graders started to look at Piet Mondrian this week, who was a famous abstract artist. They are using color, line, and shape in order to make their own train maps. This gives them a great opportunity to learn about the primary colors, work on their gluing skills, and basic cutting. The 2nd graders ready a story called "Cat and Bird," which is inspired by the work titled " Cat and Bird" by artist Paul Klee. They are practicing how to draw basic shapes, and how to blend analogous colors with oil pastels. The 3rd graders are learning about the characteristics of what a "good citizen." This ties into the current IB/PYP theme of "Who We Are." They are choosing words that describe a good citizen and writing them to create trees inspired by Gustav Klimt's "Tree of Life." The 4th graders are looking at Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. We are looking at his Cubist portraits, and creating their own. This also ties into the current IB/PYP Theme of "Who We Are" because students are drawing their own characters in an abstract style. They will be creating profile descriptions for them. The 5th graders are working on expressionist self portraits in the style of Spanish artist Romero Britto as the current IB/PYP Profile them is "Who We Are." They are describing themselves with character traits and various activities they like to do.
