Drawing center

Today our students continued learning about our drawing center. Drawing from observation is one way to practice skills. Other students used their imagination or experimented with new media.

 

 

Some of our fourth graders gave advice to our other students.

 

 This student is working in pen and ink.

 Another student is making a Zentangle! It is very relaxing.

 These students used their imagination. They also tried out new materials.

Monochromatic paintings

Students in fourth grade learn how to create a monochromatic painting. Using only one color plus black and white, students are asked to create a work of art. Students learn concepts like color mixing, tints and shades, and how color has value.

Origami

One student noticed a copy of the book DARTH PAPER STRIKES BACK in our room. A student left it behind one day. he asked to borrow it for art, and made a fabulous Darth Paper origami! This student has been inspiring others with his knowledge of origami!
