What’s happening in the Mountain
View Art Studio?
Throughout the year
kindergarten will study the elements of art; line, shape, color, texture, form,
as well as balance, pattern and rhythm. Each is studied through projects and
experiences that expose them to many types of media and processes.
Kindergarteners are now
working on learning about line. We practice making lines, we read about lines,
and we study how other artists have used line. Ask your children about the types of lines they see in their
world.
In 1st
grade, students are working in a color mixing paint project. Students become
scientists and inventors as they develop new colors and names for those
colors. We will build a color
wheel of our own to further our understanding of how color works. Mood and feeling comes into play with
as we study color and how it relates to music. To celebrate fall, our next project will be the annual, popular
making of leaf bowls from clay.
As October approaches,
students in grades 2-5 are just now starting to see centers open in their
studio. We will start slowly with
drawing, painting, and collage.
Students are exposed to a new concept, media, or technique everyday and
choose how they incorporate that new information in their work. We are looking
closely this year at the artist’s process. In mid-October we will begin a unit that covers Mexican
tradition and arts including Dias de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) to coincide
with students’ favorite holiday: Halloween!
