Egyptian Cartouches-2nd grd

2nd grade focused on Ancient Egyptian Cartouches. Students learned how to build slabs and coils out of clay and illustrated their names in hieroglyphs. 

 

Ancient Times Unit

Students have been working extremely hard on their Ancient times art lessons. We focused on Ancient Greece and Egypt due to the many amazing art contributions from these areas. Students explored mosaics, architecture, printmaking, hieroglyphics, mythology, pottery, geometric patterns, monuments, temples, and fashion.

 

CAVE ART

Texture, earth tones, history, and printmaking were the themes in this 1st and 2nd grade lesson. I love doing mixed media with students. Look closely for the hand prints in the background! Materials: oil pastels, tempera, and crayon.

Prehistoric Landscapes

Great way to connect art concepts with history. 3rd grade reviewed foreground, middle, and background in this dinosaur themed landscape.

Dinosaur Designs

Students created their own interpretations of what they feel dinosaurs may have looked like. We explored paleontologist's theories of birds, reptiles, and large mammal relationships. They came up with their textures and color schemes. So pleased with the outcome of this project!

Prehistoric Times

We have embarked on our year-round unit, "Art Through History." Students are learning about historical artifacts found by archeologists and how these artifacts provided information about how people and their art evolved over time.

100 Color Challenge

Art Club students had the task of creating 100 different colors by mixing only the 3 primary colors:
Red, Yellow, Blue. They also had black and white paint in order to lighten or darken any of their colors. It was quite the challenge, but good fun at the same time!!
