Week of 3/11/2024 - 2nd and 3rd Grade - Part 1

 

2nd graders returned to art to create artwork for ArtReach's youth show titled "Dreams in Color". I gave students a piece of paper where they could answer prompts to plan what they see in their dreams. We talked about the different prompts one at a time which gave them the time to think about what they wanted to incorporate in their art.
They then incorporated elements from the prompts to combine them into a sketch on the paper so they would be confident drawing on the 6" square poster board.
 
  1. If your dreams had colors and shapes, what would they look like?

We planned on finishing work the following class.

 
 
3rd grade students worked on part 1 of collagraph printmaking!

Students painted with watercolors on 2 sheets and also assembled and glued, corrugated cardboard, yarn, and foam pieces to create their collagraph. I reminded students not to overlap pieces and add a LOT of glue to make sure their piece were glued on well.
 
Next class we will use black ink with brayers to make 2 collagraphs per student. Here are example of what students created.
