Art Club Spring 2016

Pop Art Candy

Students were learning about how candy is made as a fun solid and liquid science lesson in their classrooms. What a great opportunity to learn about the Pop Art movement and create like commercial artists in the art room! Students studied  Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol's work in order to inspire an eye catching candy label design! I love the color and creativity with these!! 4th graders know how to make an interesting viewpoint to capture your attention. :) 

Dreamcatchers

2nd grade Stallions have been learning all about Native Americans in their classrooms, so we connected their social studies to the arts! We read the original folktale of the Grandmother and her spider told by many Native American tribes. This story explains the meaning and purpose behind their beautiful Dreamcatchers! I love seeing students take pride in the their work. We used clay, string, beads, and feathers to make these.

Historical Ships

This project connected perfectly with 4th grade social studies standards! Students observed historical ships from all over the world. They added movement to the water using different lines and also learned important techniques like crosshatching and shading to bring balance to their drawings. For the final touch, students antiqued their projects using coffee to give a lasting historic feel.
