I would like to thank all of our Elementary Artists for an amazing first week of art class!
This week in class, we worked on the following projects: K/1 artists warmed up for a year of creativity by drawing their heroes, their favorite places, and their choice of any creature. Mom and Dad were many artists' heroes, and Skate Station was a popular place. 2/3 artists got to create monsters with modeling clay. This activity was an exercise in "sketching" with clay, and great practice for working quickly and creatively. Students were given a prompt for sculpting a monster, such as "spikey monster," "flying monster," "food monster," or "eyeball monster." Students had several minutes to create their monster before smushing the clay back into a ball to start a new monster with a new prompt. 4/5 artists created large-scale collaborative drawings. Each table was covered in a large sheet of paper, and students were each given a marker to draw at their seat. Every few minutes, students were instructed to switch spots, and to add to the drawing they found in their new spot, or to begin a new drawing in any available space. I am extremely impressed by the creativity and cooperation we have had in the art room already. It's going to be a great year! Go Blue Wave, Mr. Marren
