Our two goals for this project were to show texture and to show color. We did that by creating an embossed metal heart as our point of interest surrounded by a color wheel created by cut up paint chips. Both parts show lots of texture in our artwork.

In the month of November, the sixth graders had the opportunity to show their personal creativity for a poster contest. A local Lions Club brought to our attention a poster contest in which the students could express their views in imagery on Peace, Love, and Understanding. The winner, Jacob, was chosen by the Lions club and was honored at a special dinner. Below is a picture of Jacob with his poster at the dinner and also some of the other students' entries into the contest. Great Job Sixth Graders!!
The kindergartners did an awesome job creating POP ART just like artist ANDY WARHOL using bright colors, an everyday object and repetition. We painted 6 squares with different bright colors and printed our hands on top of each square. Then we cut out 6 different colored hearts from another painted paper and glued them on top of our hands.
The fourth graders created these snowmen from a Bird's Eye View perspective. We used wet on wet watercolors along with a white oil pastel to create our backgrounds. Then we cut three different sizes of circles for the snowmen and used chalk pastels to shade around the edges of the circles. Other details were added with cut paper and markers.
The third graders learned about different points of view when creating these snowmen. We placed the features on the face in different positions to show that our snowmen were looking to the sky instead of forward. We used construction paper, crayons, markers, and paint to create all of the details on and around our snowmen.
The second graders learned about modern artist Heather Galler before creating these patterned landscape paintings. We used different types of media to create patterns such as markers and crayons and then we painted in the big spaces using bold colors.
The sixth graders used a variety of media to create these close up christmas trees. The ornaments were made using wet on wet analogous watercolors so that the colors would blend together. The background was made with oil pastels to show the texture of a pine tree. They also used several different metallic paints to create hooks and a shine on their ornaments.
Students focused on using geometric shapes when they created these cool stenciled christmas trees. First graders created theirs on white paper with the complimentary colors of red and green. The second graders used crayola color sticks on black construction paper. We used a triangle shape stencil to cover our background while we used circles, spirals, spirals and dots to create the tree. A rectangle stem and frame line were added with markers.
This year in the month of December, Switzer students had the opportunity to come back to school one night for lots of fun activities run by Switzer teachers and Eisenhower High School student helpers. In the Art room students could create a fun snowman ornament using a popsicle stick, paper, felt, markers and sequins. Students could also color a big mural in the bypass hallway and get their face painted by Eisenhower art students. There were even more crafts and activities going on all around the school. We all had a great time interacting with each other after school hours!
The fourth graders had the goal of using Geometric Shapes and showing Values in their artwork when they created these paintings. Students used templates, rulers and oil pastels to draw out a shape with vertical and horizontal lines intersecting with it. Then they picked one color of paint to use and mixed tints and shades to get a variety of values to paint inside their shapes. |
