The first graders created these interesting shape designs by cutting out circles, squares, and triangles in three different colors. After they glued the shapes to their papers, they used matching markers to outline the shapes with repeating lines.

The third graders created owls two different ways in the month of November to learn about actual and implied texture and the difference between two-dimensional art and three-dimensional art. First we created a fun 3-D owl by painting an empty toilet paper roll and pushing down the top of it. Then we used markers and scraps to add details to the tube to create a cool 3-D owl. The next week we created a 2-D owl on paper using only one contour line which was a challenge. If we made a mistake we had to turn it into part of our drawing. Students colored in the owls using a variety of markers, colored pencils and crayons. For the backgrounds we used liquid watercolors to show a wet on wet painting technique.
The fifth graders created these round weavings to show actual texture and radial symmetry. The first part was to create the actual weaving on a piece of poster board that was cut into a circle. Students chose three or four colors of yarn to create their weaving. Then on the rest of the poster board they created a design with shapes and lines to show radial symmetry. The fifth graders had to match their markers to the yarn when coloring their designs to create a sense of unity in their artwork.
Our goal in making ceramic coil pots was to show a variety of lines in a three dimensional way. Sixth graders used extruded coils to build these pots on a circle base. They were allowed to bend, twist, and manipulate the coils to show a variety of lines in their artwork. After the pots were fired once, students were able to glaze the pots with several different colors to highlight the different types of lines in their artwork. |
