ANGRY BIRDS WEEK COMING TO THE MAY WATTS ARTROOM
May 21-25

Classes who have earned points for good work and behaviour will be enjoying some 3d/form lessons creating some of the angry birds. We will be using craft foam scraps, paper towel rolls, clay, balloons, etc. to create some of those birds. Students will learn to create these figures in various types of 3d sculptures. A lot of fun taking a 2d picture and turning it into a 3d form.


We are springing into the art element of FORM for the next couple of weeks.  All classes will be making shoes as their 3d form lesson.  Fifth grade used Model Magic Clay to create these fabulous shoes. 























During the month of September, the students will be studying LINE. To create these crazy hair pictures, they needed 1. A variety of lines 2. Repetition of those lines 3. Use of value (areas that are dark, medium and light). This is work from 5B the students who sit at yellow table.






















Aug.22-26th
For the first week of Art, all students designed a paper graphic t-shirt.  They drew examples of our cool tools, that we use weekly,  from our school wide PBIS program.

Posted below are some t-shirt designs by 5S.  All students t-shirts will eventually  be displayed during the year on the office hallway bulletin board, as their class earns their gold tickets for the week.

Feb. 7-11


Students will be working on a picture for the school's Square Art Fundraiser.







ART CLASSES 2ND QUARTER   –PICASSO & MATTISE UNIT
