Paint Connections

4th Grade Murals

Asian Dragon

We are beginning to get out the paint. Some current projects are:
Kindergarten--Designing a plate with a pattern, creating texture with crayon and watercolor paint on Beautiful Numbers.
First grade-- Using lines, shapes, and patterns to create name designs, watercolor painting on lines and the names, and drawing a sea monster with a seascape behind him.
Second grade--Drawing pictures from an art culture. Cutting out and categorizing geometric and organic shapes. They are currently designing a symmetrical building which will be colored with colored pencils.
Third grade--Drawing pictures from an art culture. Shading scales using graphite, colored pencils, and chalk pastels. They have begun drawing a still life from a photo and will be using chalk pastels to color and shade it.
Fourth grade--Drawing pictures from an art culture. We have worked to enlarge pictures using grids. Each table of students is working on enlarging an art picture on mural sized paper and has begun painting it with tempera paint. What a great way to remember art cultures from around the world.
