2nd graders this week looked at the book "Matisse's Garden" by Cristina Amodeo and Samantha Friedman. We noticed how the artist used organic shapes, bright colors and was inspired to use what he saw during his travels to other countries. We used the app Free Form on iPads and students learned how to create organic shapes, change the colors and overlap shapes. This is the first time I have implemented a digital art lesson with 2nd graders and the results have been great!!
3rd graders returned to complete their Digital Fantasy fish lesson- this was based on the Birch aquarium visit in November here students learned about different habitats, fish body shapes, teeth and coloration. They used a planning sheet to determine which of the above their "fantasy" fish would have. They drew a fish and colored it in last week. This week, they used the camera in their Chromebook to take a photo of their fish, used the remove.bg website to upload the photo and get rid of the paper in the background. They then used the background option on the website to search for the habitat, added it to their fish and uploaded their work on to my art Google Classroom.
