ART CLUB + ARTSONIA

Hello parents! Well.... I hope parents read this blog since I am going to send home a letter this week to EVERY parent that tells them about me, my webpage (which will led to this blog), Art Club info and Artsonia. Hopefully someone is reading this! :)

Can I get a FINALLY! It took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r but I finally entered every single student's name into Artsonia. (I hope....) So here we go!

1.) Artsonia - cool website and fundraiser for my class. It will be up all year and at anytime you can go on there and see your child's work. I will take photos after each project is complete. You can then order items with your child's work on it. You will FIRST HAVE TO give permission for it to be uploaded and you will have to know your child's user name.... ALL that info is coming home this week with your child on the day they have Art. Well, I hope so anyway. I will give them the paper but what happens AFTER I give them the paper... well, we just hope it gets home.
ALSO - if your child goes to Art with ANOTHER teacher's class (1st and 3rd split, etc..) your child's work will be with homeroom teacher they GO TO ART with.

2) Art Club - I am starting an Art Club for SCE. It is open to grades third - fifth and I am choosing up to 15 kids. If your child is interested, please have them come to Art room to get form ASAP as I need form filled and a piece of their Art work by this Friday, August 29th. I will then look at papers and art work and choose the top ones. I will have Mrs. Miller announce who is in Art Club on Tuesday, September 2nd. All art work will be returned on that day as well.

Hope this helps!

Now on to what we did last week and moving forward.....

Kindergarten made "line sculptures". We reviewed lines we learned from last week and learned the PROPER RULES for using glue. Here is one I liked because she made an "angular line."

Here is Mrs. Marshall's line sculptures on display at school:

 

They did great!

 

1st grade - finished up their Joan Miro inspired artwork by adding pastels in primary colors. These turned out really nice so... I am not showing you yet! HA HA! I want to save the for a display AFTER we do our Joan Miro inspired sculptures! :)

 

2nd grade - finishing up our collages this week and will be adding them to Artsonia. We will continue our study on Matisse with a pastel and tissue paper collage using "Goldfish" as our inspiration.

 

3rd grade - will also be finishing up their 1st projects of doing their name in radial symmetry. Pictures to come!

 

4th grade - pretty much finished our lesson on lines and colors with "hand art." I made this bulletin board using the hands from Ms. Priebel's classes work. Plan to start a lesson on form this week with pipe cleaners and aluminum foil to make people!

 

 

 

5th grade - will finish their Andy Warhol inspired work of themselves. Pictures of this will also be on Artsonia this week! Next week - we continue with Pop Art and do a lesson inspired with figurative language!
