September 14 - 17th

Here is a little peek at our week....

Preschool

This week's theme was "All About Me". I used painter's tape to write the letter of each student's first name and then had them paint all over the paper. When I paint dries I'll peel the tape off.

Kindergarten

Students continued work on their Mondrian inspired piece. Today was all about scissors and glue! Building those motor skills!

1st grade

Students continued work on their Mondrian piece. We were busy with the scissors and keeping our pieces organized.

2nd Grade

Students worked on many different parts of their Klee inspired pieces. We used rulers, pencils and scissors today. We talked about different lines.

3rd Grade

Our listening skills were tested as we began setting up our line landscape. Students needed to follow directions and orient their papers in specific ways so that later stages of the project are successful.

4th Grade

We completed practice worksheets and got started on the artwork this week. Students set up a landscape in pencil and began adding line work in marker. These will be so colorful when completed! 

5th Grade

Students utilized their fine motor skills on the worksheet to prepare themselves for the black and white line landscape. After practicing, students moved on to the final paper and set up the landscape in pencil. Sharpie next! 

6th Grade

After completing the practice and collecting their ideas, students used rulers to make two 1 inch borders on their papers. Then they chose to use an initial or all of their initials and were asked to write them in an interesting way. Lines and patterns come next.

7th Grade

Students have a choice to do a line landscape or a negative space zentangle. Hopefully they are able to explain both of those projects to you because we discussed them at length and looked at many examples.

8th Grade

This group had their first art class of the year this week so we needed to review procedures and expectations. After that we looked at some artwork and talked over ideas for the first project.
