Daily Monsters!

Students are really loving the flexibility and the unpredictability of Daily Monsters.  Based on Stefan G. Bucher's website  http://www.dailymonster.com/ ,  we tried our own versions in class with india ink, eye droppers, and cocktail straws.

What’s happening at the Mountain View Art Studio?

Kindergarten students will end the school year with CHOICE studio options.  They will choose between drawing, collage, painting, and printmaking centers while also choosing the ideas they want to express.
As the year comes to a close, students in grades 1-5 are working hard to finish the work we’ve started in class.   We are really excited about monoprints.  We’ve experimented with painted monoprints, symmetrical folded prints, and subtractive monoprints with ink and brayers.  Now we are looking at embellishing our prints with drawing, collage, or painting techniques.  Students have also really enjoyed making daily monsters (http://www.dailymonster.com/).  A flexible thinking activity that involves air blown ink and student imaginations.
