Winter, Op art and little bit of South America!

3 finished projects to share with you all :) 

1st graders had fun collaging tissue paper to create these fun winter landscapes! For our sky, students created a water color wash and then used salt to create our snow effect!! Students learned about foreground, middle ground and background and how things get smaller as they go back!
 

OP ART!!6th graders learned about the art movement known as OP art. Short for optical art, this movement's main purpose is to use line and color (often black and white) to create an optical illusion in which we trick the viewer's eye! Students also explored complimentary colors. The complimentary pairs when next to each other cause the other to appear brighter and more vibrant. Complimentary colors are found across from each other on the color wheel! 

6th grade


 2nd grade learned about the Amazon Rainforest while traveling to South America. Students used oil pastels and we learned about blending and showing highlights and shadows  to create realistic toucans and leaves. 

 




 

More Toucans and Op art to come from Monday/Wednesday's classes!
