During the past few weeks we have been focusing on learning/reviewing the essential elements of art.
We began with an "art walk" where we looked at a variety of different paintings and photographs to look for elements of art and use art appropriate vocabulary to describe and compare them.
We studied line and did a fun musical chairs type drawing activity. We studied shape and form by designing individual triangles that we then turned into a pyramid. This past week we have been working with the element of color. 4th grade students learned about creating secondary and tertiary colors using primary colors by mixing primary colored play-do. All students learned about the color wheel, relationships between complimentary and analogous colors, as well as how color can be used in art in evoking and expressing emotion.
Next wee will by SEPs. I look forward to meeting and talking with any of you that would like to stop by and visit the art room.
