1st Graders are Sailing the Sea with Warm & Cool Colors

Learning about warm and cool colors, 1st graders recently created torn paper landscape collages. These collages have us dreaming of warm summer evenings.

 

2nd grade Deconstructed Paintings

Students created a repeating pattern with crayon. After the pattern was complete, students finished the design with bold watercolors. Paintings were cut into 3" squares and reassembled into an interesting artwork. Beautiful!

2nd Grade Pendulum Paintings

Students have been studying and exploring motion. Force, movement, and friction were discussed as we watched patterns being created in paint by our pendulum. Students worked in groups to create these large works of art. (Some photos are in-process, others are finished works of art.)

Club Roar Batiks

Club Roar students have been experimenting with a variety of art techniques. They recently created designs in wax on fabric. The following session we used Easter egg coloring to dye our fabric. The wax was ironed between newsprint and removed. Their designs turning out amazing!

1st grade Mixed Media Robots

The students' robots are very imaginative! 

 

Club Roar Art Students Were on a Roll!

On Tuesday, Club Roar students from grades kindergarten thru fourth grade created large collaborative artworks. Students worked together rolling plastic balls through paint in a really big box. Students moved the balls back and forth creating crisscrossing patterns as they tilted the box up, down, and side to side. The results were fun and colorful!

Artworks in Progress

2nd grade Chihuly Vessels

2nd graders recently learned about the contemporary artist Dale Chihuly . Chihuly is a world renowned glass artist who creates a wide variety of colorful and stunning artworks. Students created Chihuly inspired vessels from markers, coffee filters, and liquid starch. The final artworks are beautiful!

Kandinsky's Circles Inspire Kindergarteners

The kindergarten students viewed many artworks by Wassily Kandinsky. The bright colors were quite an inspiration. Students created circles using a rainbow of crayon colors. The kindergarteners then finished the artworks with vibrant watercolors.
