The Artwork / The Process
Students from Kindergarten through 5th grade used
different techniques and mediums to create their artwork such as liquid
tempera, oil pastels, chalk pastels, glue, watercolor paint tempera cakes and
cut paper.
KINDERGARTEN
Kindergarten students used solid poster paint sticks to create one
or many “dots” in some cases discovering that by mixing the colors they were
able to make others.
First Grade students explored printmaking using recycled “dot”
shaped objects to print multiple dots with white liquid tempera on black paper.
SECOND GRADE
Second Grade students first created different sized masks for
their “dots” to mask- out areas where they didn't want their medium to go (in
this case oil- pastel). They then applied watercolor to select areas in some
cases creating a resist technique.
THIRD GRADE
FOURTH GRADE
Third & Fourth Graders took inspiration from “ish”
creating “ish” drawings with sharpie and adding watercolor paint. Third grades
subject matter was decided by students picking “ish” words out of a hat while
Fourth graders chose three “favorites” to create “ish” drawings of, including favorite places or foods.
Fifth Grade took inspiration from “sky color”, creating
their own sky color backgrounds using watercolor techniques and then created
silhouettes from cut black paper to illustrate a scene.
