The first graders learned all about color and where it comes from in art recently. We decided to create our own rainbows in Pointilism style to show that when you mix sun and rain you will get a rainbow because all colors come from light. We used Q-tips as our painting tool to create our dots for Pointilism style.

March is reading month and at Switzer we are really fired up about reading! This year our theme took on a camping vibe so in the art room we created some artwork of different animals or things you might see while camping out in nature. The third graders created raccoons to show the art principle of CONTRAST. The fourth graders created moose using the art element of ORGANIC SHAPES. The second graders created camping starry nights like Vincent Van Gogh and used lots of lines to show movement. We had a great time connecting our art projects to our reading month theme.
The kindergarteners focused on cutting different shapes from different sizes of paper to create these Penguin artworks. We also used markers and oil pastels to add details and patterns to our pictures.
The sixth graders created these compositions using marker and chalk pastels. Our goal was to show foreground, middle ground, and background in our artwork.

Mrs. W.About Me: This is my eighth year teaching art at Switzer Elementary. I see every K-6 student for art once a week. My goal during this time is to nurture students' creativity through exploring different art mediums and concepts. By exploring art, students will develop essential knowledge and skills that will prepare them for the future. Categories
