here is what we have been up to in the art room....
5th grade: we studied spanish artist Joan Miro and his famous abstract paintings.
6th grade: Egyptian hieroglyphics with some Egyptian symbols.
students rolled slabs out of red clay, carved some hieroglyphics and symbols and then painted with metallic paint.
7th grade: a multi-medium project.
students drew a tropical bird - dividing the paper into three parts.
part one: they learned about seurat's pointillism
part two: played with gray charcoal
part three: oil pastel and watercolor resist
i love how these turned out!
8th grade: my favorite project so far! i'm so impressed with what my 8th graders can do.
students had some fun creating their own version of Grant Wood's American Gothic.
oh! mrs. ainsworth i wish you were my art teacher! love all the work--American Gothic ...-so clever.
ReplyDeleteWow....those are fantastic! I don't know which ones are my favorites. Probably the Egyptian ones. I love it when you post those pictures. It's so amazing to see what your kids can do!
