The end of the school year is slowly approaching and Smyser artists have been keeping busy with new projects. The 3rd grade students have finished their Musical Instrument Invention Advertisement Posters and are currently working hard on Antoni Gaudi inspired mosaics. 4th grade artists finished they Romare Bearden Jazz Collages and are currently exploring a paint and color scheme unit. Next, they will be learning about cartography and artists who use maps in their artwork. 5th grade students got technical and learned how to create geometric and organic shapes in 3-D. They have been experimenting with metallic watercolors and turning their names into 3-D. 6th grade students finished a lesson on Rotan designs and are currently designing their own Comic Books and Manga Books! 7th and 8th grade Art 1 studied Optical Illusion Art and are using markers and watercolors to create their own Op Art designs. Art 2 class experimented with clay, acrylic paints, created Artists Trading Cards. Currently they are finished up on Yarn Symbol Weavings.
All of the artwork mentioned will be on display NEXT WEDNESDAY at the Smyser Spring Arts Festival. Next Wed, June 5th and 7:00pm, all Smyser Art students will be featured in an Art Gallery Exhibit located in the cafeteria. Make sure to come by, invite your friends, and check it out!
In other news, selected 6th grade Art students were invited to attend a field trip next Monday June 3rd. Students will be visiting the Art Institute of Chicago and Millenium Park. Students were selected based on hard work, focus, and respectful/mature behavior in all art classes throughout the semester. Congrats to those of you who earned it! If you were not selected, make sure to try your best next semester Fall 2013-2014 as I will be conducting a neat Art field trip each semester! :)
