Famous Artist:
The children spent time learning about famous artist and their unique techniques they used in their artwork. The children then incorporated the techniques into their own work.
Mondrian Inspired Art:
The children analyzed Mondrian's art, and we noticed that he only used primary colors, as well as squares and rectangles in his artwork.
Below, the friends created a Mondrian inspired collage:
When we came to school on a snow day, we decided to make "snow sculptures" with model magic. They enjoyed creating their sculptures, and telling their friends what they made.
Jackson Pollock
Next, we introduced Jackson Pollock, who was an influential American painter and well known for his unique style of drip painting.
The children specified what they noticed in his artwork, which lead into a conversation about abstract art.
Pollock would use different objects to drip paint in his canvases. So that is what we did!
The children transformed our loft into an art studio for the week. They loved getting messy, and splattering paint all over the workspace.
Claude Monet:
Claude Monet was the third artist we introduced.
Monet was a was a French artist and founder of Impressionist painting.
We looked through many of his paintings and discussed how a lot of his work is inspired by nature.
Together, we created our own beautiful scenic view using watercolors just like Monet.
...and then individual pictures using pastels.
Finally, the finished product!
Practicing to sign our names.
