What’s happening in the Mountain
View Art Studio?
Kindergarten is
learning all about the Elements of Art that artists use in their work. We are now studying color. Students should be able to identify
primary colors and know how to mix the secondary colors. We are working with several types of
paint and will explore bubble prints.
In 2nd
grade, students are working on a long unit based on the art of Alexander
Calder. We are beginning to study
line and movement during some drawing exercises. Shape, space, both positive and negative, and balance, will
be explored through 3 dimensional art works made of paper, wire, and foam. This unit will culminate with the
students creating a balanced mobile.
Students in grades 3,
4, and 5 are working in the art studio and have choices like sculpture, fibers,
and printmaking. We are
examining how we know when our artwork is finished, what makes an exceptional
artwork, and how get better and more varied materials. We will start to explore architecture
as art while we open blocks/straws and connectors, study ancient and modern
architecture, and open Trimble’s SketchUp program on the computer as an art
medium for creating architectural plans. 1st Grade is just learning how to use
the art studio with limited choices.
We are exploring where artist get ideas.
