Week of 1/16/2022 - Going digital!

This week 3rd graders created a still life inspired by the art of artist Sara Rivka Dahan. I had each student bring their Chromebook to work with Sketchpad which is simple to navigate and user friendly!  

We looked at the works of the artist, discussed tints, shades, tone and value.
I have 6 3rd grade classes -  we observed a different fruit/ vegetable in each class. Students first created a created
a black outline with pencil tool, exploring how line thickness affects the area they are coloring, added tints and shades using the crayon tool, created a shadow and finally a background. Students had  the option to add black and white dots if they wished to like the artist!






2nd grade students looked at real life objects and identified textures associated with them, practiced creating them on paper before using a variety of materials to create them on black card stock.
