- Kinder. to 1st Grade Gallery -
Kindergarten - Mixed Media BUGS
This group also did the folded paintings using the Primary colors = red, yellow & blue and noticed that new colors were made. Everyone chose an insect shape to cut-out, then added: papers, beads, wires, marker, etc. to finish. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to make a garden for them to live in!
Kindergarten - Printmaking: BUGS
Another group did the final step of the "Kinder Garden"
project: to draw and print insects. [Shown adding color using chalks
onto the dry prints.]
We drew insects from photos, chose a favorite sketch and enlarged it
[made it much bigger] first. To print, we made monoprints =
"one print", made by drawing into the wet paint and laying paper over the top.
First Grade - Degas’ Dancers
This began by drawing 3 ‘models’ from the class, who did a 1-minute pose as a dancer. We then used sponge pieces to paint a background ‘stage’ for them. Once dancers were cut and glued onto the stage, all details were added: hair, clothing, faces, etc. The last step was to make musicians +/or an audience!
[Inspired by the French artist, Edgar Degas, who made hundreds of drawings, paintings, and sculptures of...dancers!
