Welcome back to the 18-19 School Year

Welcome Back!

We always start the school year off with the art room fundraiser.   Our students get to create bright colorful art work that will be made into stickers and  can be purchased on great gifts an memento's. A percentage of all work goes to the many consumable supplies we use on a daily basis in the art room. Paint, Glaze, Clay etc.

WORK IN PROGRESS

First Graders learned about the artist James Rizzi. He is famous for his whimsical paintings of Cityscapes. The first graders learned about the concept of overlapping a way to show space in a picture. The created their own cityscapes using overlapping and expressions. All of their buildings had to have a  face and windows. They are so creative and their drawings are super fun!

4th Grade Collage Illusions

In fourth grade students combined photos of themselves and used a ruler to make it appear as if the walls are closing in on them. They cut the image of themselves out an glued it to a black rectangle. They used a ruler to create a checkerboard. Colored it with marker and finally used a little charcoal around the black rectangle and on the corner lines. These turned out great and really gave the illusion of space in the pictures.

First Grade Foxes

First Graders at Fox Creek learned how to Draw a Fox.
I loved seeing what colors they chose.

6th Grade explores the art of Kimmy Cantrell

 6th Grade looked at the art of Kimmy Cantrell. They did a gallery walk of what they noticed. They shared out what they thought were the important attributes of his artwork one being the asymmetry of his masks. The students created a drawing of  a mask and finally made it out of clay.
