2ND GRADE CLAY PINCH POTS











1ST GRADE" MATISSE STILL LIFE WATERCOLORS

 Students looked at Henri Matisse's painting, "Sideboard" to get inspiration for their watercolor still-life paintings. Still-life paintings are the second type of painting that the students were learning about.


Students were also learning how to create lighter and darker colors by adding more or less water to their watercolors. 



1ST GRADE: PATTERNED LANDSCAPES

 1st grade learned about one type of art called a landscape. A landscape is any artwork with land in it! Pattern was one of the elements of art that the students were learning about as well.
