5th Grade LEGO Self Portraits!

5th Grade Artists are making self portraits in the style of LEGO People! Here are a couple examples of Mrs. Kilpatrick, the art teacher and the artist :)


We're sketching ideas of different LEGO expressions and then, we will draw ourselves to be put on display soon! 

 

3rd Grade Pop Art!

3rd Grade Art learned about Andy Warhol and his work with the Pop Art Movement. We read the book, Andy Warhol Paintings for Children, & saw his famous technique of bright colors & repetition.


We are making our own drawings of 1 every day object repeated 8 times. Here is an example of brightly colored hamburgers. Can't wait to show our finished work!

1st Grade Still Lifes

1st Grade Art learned about still life art and practiced the art by drawing lemons, apples, oranges, and pears. Each table received their own fruit and drew the fruit 3 different times from different angles. We also practiced the use of shadows. Finally, we added patterned wallpaper to add some color to our artwork!


4th Grade Picasso Portraits!

In 4th Grade Art, we researched some of Picasso's most famous portraits. We even looked at some of his work that is at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Then, we used collage and crayon to make "Cubism" portraits. Hope you like our awesome abstract art!

3rd Grade Paper Weaving!

3rd Grade Art learned how to weave paper using bright strips of construction paper. We had fun making patterns of color!





2nd Grade Paul Klee Castles

In 2nd Grade Art, we learned about the artist Paul Klee. We read the book The Cat and the Bird and saw his unique style of dark lines with bright shapes. We had fun creating our own versions with crayon and watercolor paint! 




4th Grade Cupcake Collages!

4th Grade Art created yummy looking cupcake collages with construction paper. We reviewed pattern and repetition by creating interesting "wallpaper" for the background and tablecloths with colorful patterns as well. Hope you enjoy looking at these as much as we did making them!
