Week of October 15-18

In art class we have been working on learning/reviewing the essential elements of art.  This week we have just begun to combine different elements and learn additional art vocabulary as we begin doing projects.  This week we have done both a free-style sculpture combining line, shape, and space.  At the end of the week we just did our first watercolor project.  Students learned about resists using crayon and watercolor.  They were guided to draw a series of spider webs on their paper using only white crayon.  They could then choose from any color of paint to paint over their drawing to see how the crayon resists the paint and you can see the image behind the paint.
