Kindergarten art class looked at the work of Claude Monet last week. We talked about what it would be like to paint outside at different times of day and how the light would change and the colors you would see would change. We then used his paintings of waterlilies as inspiration to create our own impressionistic interpretations.

7th and 8th grade art students learned about the awesome work of contemporary artist Amy Genser. They then created an artwork inspired by nature that demonstrated movement or flow. This project took a lot of work and prep with paper rolling. Students then attached their paper rolls to a painted background to create a mixed media artwork. 4th grade's final project before the switch at the quarter was an exploration of movement and line. They created silhouettes of something that could fly, either naturally or man-made. They used different types of lines to create movement in their artwork. Movement in art is how the eye moves about an artwork, but movement can also be demonstrated in the classical sense of something moving across the paper. They tried to show both types with something flying across their paper that draws the eye of the viewer.
