Our volunteer Art Docents have been busy bringing art history and fine art lessons into the ME classrooms! Here is a round-up of just some of the great projects and beautiful student work created since the beginning of the year! Mrs. Rickey's 3rd Graders learned about George Rodrigue and The Blue Dog, and created these pieces with oil pastel. Mrs. Bade's 3rd Graders learned about Georgia O'Keefe. The students chose either one of two pieces, Crab's Claw Ginger or Pineapple Bud. They traced with pencil, outlined with fine sharpie, and colored with oil pastels. Mrs. Trent's 1st Graders and Mrs. Rohrich's 4th Graders learned about Frida Kahlo and the symbols and traditions of the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). They used oil pastels on roofing paper to create Las Calaveras (sugar skulls). Mrs. Wolfe's 5th Graders went Into The Spiderverse! They studied images of spider eyes by Spanish macro-lens photographer Javier Rupérez. They used acrylics to paint the background in warm harvest colors, then they created their own amazing arachnids using roofing paper and oil pastel for great hairy texture, along with cool-toned watercolor in a wheel design, and dimensional gloss to make giant, surprised, hypnotic eyes. 3rd Grades studied Yayoi Kusama and created polka dot pumpkins in a fun lesson incorporating geometric/organic shapes and color values. The students loved seeing her wide-scale installations in this book. Mrs. Bade's 3rd Graders learned about Vincent Van Gogh and made their own beautiful Starry Night paintings. Ms. Wise's 3rd and 4th Graders learned about Georgia O'Keeffe and experimented with blending oil pastels to create beautiful pieces inspired by O'Keeffe's landscape paintings. Comments are closed.
