Second semester Kindergarten art students learned about different types of lines by creating 3D versions with different colored paper. They then created paper sculptures to include their different lines.

We love Google Cardboard in my classes and this is a really cool way to make your own viewer so you can watch 360 videos and use the Cardboard app on your own device at home. Check it out! Many classes have been focusing on various elements of color theory. 4th grade created abstract watercolors using complementary colors as well as stylized landscapes with contrasting warm and cool colors. 6th grade created a repeated subject in four different color schemes including monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and warm/cool colors. 7th and 8th grade created an artwork using a clear color scheme of their choice to show color harmony.
Dada was an artistic movement which emerged in Zurich, Switzerland around 1915 during World War I, and lasted until the mid-1920’s. Dada artists challenged convention and expressed their opposition to nationalistic extremism and conformity by creating art by chance, and proclaiming manufactured goods, or readymades, as art. The Dada movement is known for highlighting the absurdity and the joy of life.
In 7th and 8th grade art classes we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Cabaret Voltaire, the artist hangout where the artists met to create the Dada movement and hold dramatic poetry readings and art shows. Students created their own mixed media artworks, some by the laws of chance! 2nd Grade Art Class created landscapes showing both warm and cool colors with a split background of night and day. We even got to splatter paint some stars!
1st Grade Art Class studied warm and cool colors. They painted oceans under the moonlight with cool colors and they created these African savanna sunsets using warm colors. The sunsets are done in chalk pastels with black paint for the animals and vegetation.
6th grade students studied the kinetic art of Yaacov Agam and focused on the principles of design, rhythm and movement. Students created three separate paintings exhibiting these principles and put them together into complete artworks inspired by Agam's work. Yaacov Agam was interested in creating art that would “transcend the visible by only being able to be perceived in stages.” This idea is seen here by the transitions shown between the paintings in the artworks and different views show different paintings.
