The Art Program is in full swing and our student artists are creating high quality projects. Second through fifth graders began the year with lessons on reading the credit line (the information that accompanies a piece of art). They learned how to identify the artist, the artist’s nationality, date of production, title of piece, medium and size. They learned the various mediums artists use for visual creative expression and practiced analyzing pieces from a variety of perspectives.
First through fifth graders all recently completed “Name Plate” designs. They learned basic graphic design principles of spacing, balance, symmetry, positive/negative space and warm and cool colors. Completed pieces are on exhibit in the art building foyer gallery. Kindergarteners are now completing self-portrait paintings – to be on display soon.
New projects are beginning this week.
