Kinders used line, shapes and textures to create relief sculptures of birthday cakes inspired by San Diego cake artist Tara Heather. We looked at how she uses different elements of art to create tiered cakes. I gave students a 9"x12" piece of construction paper and 3 3" strips of paper in 6", 9" and 12". Students used metallic markers and color sticks to create line and shape patterns and customize their cake on the shortest strip using letters, numbers and any element of their choice. We then folded the sides, glued them down and added a table and candles to complete works. I am absolutely in awe of how my kinders embraced this lesson and produced stunning works!
1st graders created Warli art inspired by the Warli tribe of Western India. Warli art was recognized in the 1970s and depict a much simpler life of people and nature using the triangle, square and circle.Humans are created by joining 2 triangles, only 2 colors are used and the picture tells a story! We practiced drawing images in Warli style and students picked the ones they wanted to use to create a scene that tells a story.
