What’s happening at the Mountain View Art Studio?
Kindergarten students are continuing their work in texture by working in clay. We are experimenting with the clay while experiencing all of its properties. Clay pottery as well as paper and found objects will be introduced as a way to understand form and 3-dimensional sculpture.
Students in grades 1-5 have been working hard in the studio. The students are being asked to push themselves as artists and to move beyond what they know they are capable of (stretch and explore). New techniques are being demonstrated as well as new materials being added to each center. Students are discovering that pattern can add visual interest to their paintings and drawings. We are adding liquid watercolors to the painting station and trying to get new affects with resist techniques, adding salt, and masking parts of the painting. We are will be opening copper tooling or metal embossing as another way to experience relief in the printmaking center. Students will be very pleased when they see that making Daily Monsters will be available in the art studio again.
