The Inside Scoop!
Students have begun a new set of projects in the MIS art room! 5th grade is exploring the theme of self-portraits and creating their own in a fun and creative way! We are focusing on contour lines and what makes us unique. 4th grade is reviewing the element of art, value and using oil pastels to create an X-Ray of their hand. 3rd grade is cooking up something delicious and creative! After looking at 3 food artists including Wayne Thiebaud, students will be creating a still life of a sweet treat.
November is full of holidays and half days! Students will be wrapping up some projects this month and spending time exploring different materials through various activities in the art room.
Students are hard at work on some beautiful projects! 5th grade is being inspired by contemporary artist Robin Mead and creating watercolor seascapes & landscapes! 4th grade is flying through their owl continuous line projects. 3rd is hanging on to the warmth of summer and creating a Heather Galler inspired still life.
This month, students will be discovering the MIS art room! Your child will spend the first few classes working with their new table-mates to find locations in the art room and uncover our classroom rules through a series of puzzles. Once we become familiar with locations, routines and rules, students will create their own art sketchbook. They will use this throughout the year to sketch ideas for upcoming projects, notes on artists, and for drawing if they finish projects early.
Questions to ask your child:
- What are the most important locations in the art room?
- What table do you sit at?
- What is your classroom job?
- How did you choose to decorate your art sketchbook?
