We’re Going to Do What?
Last Friday the students looked at several examples of non-objective art and then painted some beautiful artworks of their own. After the paintings were dry we added more detail using black paint and spray bottles of white paint. This week we started by cutting our paintings into squares and then put them back together randomly. Some students were a little nervous about having their paintings cut-up, but we all loved the results when they were finished.
This art lesson came from another great blog that Mrs. Watson follows, mrspicasso’s art room.
Geometric Designs
Friday is normally our art day, but with today being a Professional Development Day in our school district we decided to find a way to combine art with math on a Thursday instead.
This lesson from Adventures of an Art Teacher seemed to be the perfect fit.
We talked about different two dimensional shapes and then had a wonderful time using them to create these beautiful pictures.
Jasper Johns Inspired Names
For art this week we looked at the work of American Artist Jasper Johns. We found this lesson at For the Love of Art ,another great art blog that Mrs. Watson follows.
We folded our paper into 16 squares and then used the letters in our first names to make a pattern. We used oil pastels for the letters and then watered down tempera paint to make the background for each square.

When I’m 100…
As part of our 100’s Day celebration we drew pictures of what we think we might look like when we are 100. After we drew and coloured our pictures we crumpled them up into little balls to add even more wrinkles. This is the first time we have ever crumpled up our work, but we love how they turned out. We also painted wallpaper for the background of our self portraits. We hope you like them!
