This week 2nd and 3rd graders returned for their 3rd art rotation.
2nd graders worked on their printmaking lesson! Students cut self-adhesive foam into a variety of organic and geometric shapes, arranged them and stuck them on green circle lids I had received as a donation. They also painted inside boxes that I had pre-drawn on a 9" x 12" watercolor paper using a complementary color combination with watercolors. During the next class, students painted their foam shapes with black acrylic paint and pressed them into each box to create prints.
2nd graders also worked on an assemblage lesson inspired by the artist Loiuse Nevelson. During the first class, we had a class discussion while looking at her work. Each student received a 9"x12" cardboard and variety of small cardboard pieces, plastic lids, wooden pieces and popsicle sticks. I showed students how to peel one layer of the cardboard to reveal the bumps inside. They arranged and glued their objects using white school glue. During the next class, they painted their work using a monochromatic color to finish their work.
3rd graders worked on their weaving and motif making lesson! We looked at fabric using a magnifying glass and discussed how it is made from yarn by a weaving technique. We practiced drawing a variety of lines and shapes and combined at least two of each to design motifs. Each student designed four motifs and selected two to use in their final work.
During the next class, students cut lines on a folded 12"x18" construction paper on which I had drawn lines two inches apart. They used 6 2"x12" paper strips in a single color to go over and under and weave. Once done, they added their motifs. One motif on one color square and the other on the second color square. They also took a photo of their art and uploaded it on Google classroom.
