Week of 11/13/23 - Value with UTK, K and 1st grade

 Students this week worked on creating the element of art Value in their artwork. We looked at the below example and had a class discussion about what we saw. 

Students noticed that 

1. Each heart had just one color and that it was light in a few places and dark in others places. 2. They noticed that it looked like it was shining and the colors resembled those in a rainbow. 3. The black heart was camouflaged with the background and wad wad hard to notice!

After this discussion, I introduced students to the words tint and shade and explained how artists sometimes just use one color in their art but make new colors by mixing it with white to create tint and black to create shade. This is called "Value". 

UTK and kinder students created ice cream cones on black card stock. They used metallic markers to add details. I gave each student a different color tempera paint that they painted the first scoop with and gave them white paint to mix to create 3 tints to add to the different scoops.




1st grade students created lines using rulers and then added circles to create shapes on their paper. They used a white paint stick to trace over the pencil lines. I gave each student a different color tempera paint that they painted their shapes with and gave them white paint to mix to create 3 tints to add to the more shapes.
