This month has been full of art making on all levels! The younger grades celebrated autumn by learning how to draw overlapping realistic pumpkins. Third grade students have been celebrating Dia de los Muertos and learning about the Mexican folk art of papel picado. Fifth grade artists have been concentrating on the Elements of Design, specifically exploring texture - tactile texture and implied texture. Students have been using oil pastels to create feathers for their owl drawings.
Sixth grade artists are currently working on their Art and Advertising unit. Upon completing their personal Logo Designs, students are now in the mid-stages of creating eye-catching posters to celebrate Smyser Stands Strong. Seventh & Eighth grade artists learned the American Sign Language alphabet. Students worked on contour line drawings this month, the basics of strong drawing skills! They achieved contour lines both continuous contours, and blind contours. Students created inspiration sign language inspired hand drawing collages.
Congratulations to the October Artists of the Month!
