"Art Parties" are beginning!

Every week each class has a chance to earn 1, 2, or 3 points towards getting an Art Party. So, our artists have been working hard to do their best in art and show the 3 R's, so that they can earn more Art Parties this year!

Congratulations to 3A, 3E, and 3B, who have earned the first art parties of the year! Here are some photos. Their surprise activity was pasta painting.

 

These artists had a lot of fun experimenting with the pasta. Have you ever painted with something unusual? Trying new ways to paint can bring out more creativity!

Grade 3 - Paul Klee Animals!

Grade 3 artists learned about Paul Klee, including his creative style and what he preferred to paint.

They also learned that this famous artist once visited Egypt and other North African countries, and painted artwork inspired by his visit.

For this project, Grade 3 artists focused on animals, which were one of Klee’s favorite subjects.

To put together these paintings, they made a crayon resist background and a personalized animal, and then glued it to their background.

 

 

Look for how they used the art element of CONTRAST in their work, and for connections between their subjects and their backgrounds.

Great job, Grade 3!!
