February in Art!
2/4/2019
Welcome to February! It has been a busy year!
Currently, the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th Grades are working in textiles. We are weaving using cardboard looms. We have learned to make and warp our looms. The weaving has started, using the over-and-under technique. We practiced making square knots, and slip knots. Soon we will make decorative knots for the pouches we are weaving. The Beginners classes have been learning their handwriting, fractions through folding paper into sections, direction: center, right, left. They've been practicing words in Latin that consist of three letters. Most recently, we are practicing papercutting to make flowers. The K, and 2nd are almost done with their self-portraits. They are learning the techniques of chiaroscuro, sfumato, impasto, and alla prima. Acrylic paint is their medium. The EK classes are working with drawing and making flowers through folding and also cutting. Each child in the school is making flowers to be used on the tables for decoration. They are hand painted in representational, geometric, abstract, and non-objective styles. Comments are closed.
