4th Graders are getting stuck in glue and creating a Collograph.  Collo comes from the Greek word "to glue."  They are learning about texture and will be then be exploring printmaking the with collographs.  Then we will work on a printmaking/collage project with snowflakes.

5th grade is diving in to Art Deco.  We are taking an artist by the name of Chris Marley and turing his bugs in to Deco Designs.  Art Deco started in Paris, France in the the '20's and '30's.  It appears everywhere, from jewelry, wallpaper, ironwork, architecture, etc.  It is highly stylized and abstracted in appearance.  After Christmas break we will be starting a really inspiring piece using clay and graffiti.  In the meantime, after art deco, we are going to loosen things up and start a Frozen Warp Weaving Sculpture.

 6th grade is working a self portrait in mosaic fashion.  We will then loosen up and use Frozen Warp Weaving to create a sculpture.

We are using U Tube to learn about artists and techniques.

 All projects have Rubrics, please ask your child for it.
