March 30-April 1This week in Virtual Art Class we started by reviewing important information from last week (our schedule and theme for our next project). Tips and Techniques that I have taught to this point of the school year have now been organized in one document for students to easily access if interested (in addition to being posted in the Virtual Art Room). This file is located in the Stream of their Google Classroom for Art. Students can use any of these taught techniques in any of their art projects, but is not a requirement. Students then learned about their choice board and the different ways they can make art. Both choice boards have the same themes, but different project options were presented to each grade level within my presentation. Choice Board:Students learned more about how texture is made and used with different materials by looking at some examples of art that uses texture. Students can practice drawing different surfaces or use objects that have texture in their project. Third grade students learned about the process of wax resist (water soluble markers or watercolor paint on top of crayon) as a project option that demonstrates texture.
All students then learned about how a few contemporary artists use animals as inspiration in their art. People have represented animals in their art since the beginning of time, and in many different ways. Fourth grade students also learned about a way quarantined pet owners used a cardboard box to turn their pet into a dinosaur. I shared a way that my own kids and I used silly faces we drew and then used as we photographed a cat.
With another Friday with no school, 5th grade did not have art class this week.
Next week, 3rd and 4th grade class time will be considered a work day. I will be checking in to make sure students have at least started their project. They will have an opportunity to continue working, ask questions and get feedback. I will also assign their project assignment during class so that they can turn it in when it is ready. Gather up those supplies, start making your art project, and I will see you again soon.
