Week of 10/10/2022 - UTK, K and 1st grade fall art

 UTK, Kinders and 1st grade students came back for week 2 of art. We created fall themed art using the element of art - line.

UTK students drew their hand with pencil on watercolor paper and traced it with a black Sharpie marker. I am so glad one of their teachers comes to my class to assist me with students. We made sure their fingers were spread out so they looked like branches when they traced. We then added curved lines around the branches, filled them with lines and added color with crayons. Blue watercolor for the background to finish works!

 Kinders practiced lines on black paper with metallic markers - I love watching their excitement as they use the different metallic colors!!  We used color card stock paper to create different leaves, fill them with lines and glued them on the other side of the black paper. Students filled the empty black spaces with more lines - great practice drawing and understanding lines. 

 

After practicing drawing different leaves, 1st graders created leaves with pencil, traced them with black Sharpie and added line patterns. We used bleeding tissue squares in warm colors inside the leaves and in cool colors outside the leaves. It was fascinating for them to watch how the tissue paper when mixed with water gave out color on to the paper. One student's work will be displayed at the Urban Collective conference in downtown San Diego next week!
