Students created a landscape with construction paper.  They divided their paper into thirds for the foreground, middleground and background.  They tore paper to create mountains and clouds.  To create an organic line for the tree, they blew paint thru a straw.  Tissue paper was used to create blossoms.

Students will begin the year with a study of the art element of LINE during September. Stay tuned to see some awesome artwork in the coming weeks.

















Check out the pictures of the examples of the angry birds the students got to make. Go to the home page to see them.

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.Angry birds rule!!!!!!!!!1

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.  Third grade used paper to create these Native American mocassins and the Asian Indian slippers.  This is the construction of them and next week will be the embellishment of designs.

Students worked in groups to create the colors of the color wheel using only the primary colors of red, yellow and blue.

During the month of October/November, the students will be studying SHAPE. The students learned about organic and geometric shapes. They made a design of fall leaves (organic shapes). They made their own leaf tracers and outlined them with chalk.  They placed the tracer on the paper and then rubbed the chalk onto the paper. As they lifted the leaf off, they created a negative shape.  You saw the shape  of the leaf because of the outline of chalk.  In their design they were to overlap, go off the page, repeat, etc.   The first week of November, they will learn about Cubism and the artist Pablo Picasso. 

The culminating activity for our line unit was to make a Paper strip sculpture of a person using a variety of lines.  Thank you 3BA for some great LINE PEOPLE!!

During the month of September, the students will be studying LINE. To create these aliens , they needed to 1.  draw contour lines around their name 2. Repetition of those lines 3. colored in the middle symmetrically.  This is work from 3BR 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.
