This week 2nd Graders have been finishing their collages with their secondary color paintings. They learned about color mixing with "blob paintings" by mixing primary colors to form the secondary colors. Each shape was then cut and their imaginations took over! Students turned the paintings into creatures, plants, robots, etc., by using their shapes and other materials creatively. They are also learning how to talk and write about their art and the artwork of their peers using an art vocabulary.
It's always fun to watch kindergartners paint! In kindergarten students paint often in art class and learn proper procedures with "Mr. Brush." This week students painted an arctic sky using the crayon resist method. Students drew the lines and shapes of their choice with a white oil pastel and then painted over the lines with the colors of their choosing to reveal their drawing.
