This is our 3rd grade project for the first Art Room fundraiser! We learned about two contemporary artist; Kandinsky and Klimt. Then we talked about the process of collage and created a tree. Finally we discussed filling the space to create interest. Hope you enjoy a few pictures!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer, I know I did! Well we are already 3 weeks in and have managed to complete 2 projects! We are on a roll! The following picture is the result of a collaborative mural every student in the school contributed to. Every student used the element of line to create patterns then colored their petal their class color. I put all the petals together to create a flower! The students loved this project and were very excited to see the end result. Keep being creative!
For this project I wanted to focus on three things.
1. I wanted students to learn to work collaboratively towards a common goal 2. I wanted students to learn what a sculpture was 3. I wanted students to learn that art is meant to be shared. Students were either assigned a partner or partnered with a friend. They were challenged to work together to create a sculpture of a tree. When completed they selected a CCSD employee in this school to give their tree to. I called them Cheering trees. They are meant to spread a little springtime cheer. Ask your student about them and they will share with you who they selected and what they learned. #kindnessmatters did you miss the art show? #sadface it’s ok!!! I took pictures of every single artwork at the show and I’d have to say these are the most talented students ever! Enjoy the pictures! third grade has been working so hard on their slab projects! We looked at the artist Lucy Tiffney for inspiration for these. First we rolled out a slab. Then using the additive and subtractive method we created plants on our slab. After they were fired once we then glazed them. Here they are coming out of the kiln. The student choices of top 3 from each class will be on display soon and the rest will be coming home! Art show save the date! |
