This year in the Catholic Church we are celebrating the Year of Faith. Inspired by this celebration, 2nd graders created art work showing how they show their faith everyday! We learned about warm and cool colors by creating a tissue paper collage base. We used watercolor pencils to draw a faith picture!
In Kindergarten this year we are jumping into art by looking at and talking about famous artwork. We will be looking at videos that animate the art, so it literally looks like you art in the work!
For our first project we looked at Wassily Kandinsky's abstract art. Kandinsky loved to paint colors, shapes, and lines. He was inspired by music. We created a tissue paper collage, learned about different types of lines, and added shapes in our artwork all while listening to Beethoven and other classical music... something that inspire different music!
We watched this video and jumped into the painting, an animation of Kandinsky's art.
Our artwork came out so bright, bold, and colorful! Here are some student examples!
