We made Hundertwasser towers at art in our recycling unit. Children loved it. The rule is, do not go too high because as a teacher you will struggle. 4-5 cups and no more!
Around the world
Grade 1 spoke abput celebrations around the world. We used watercolours and aquarel paper.
There was an old lady
After reading the book which really is cute and funny and deserves every attention, we had fun drawing the old lady and all she stuffed into her belly.
Go Berlin
Atak, still life, comic books, punk subculture, anarchism, east Berlin … so much to talk about. And the works developed under his impressions turned out beautifully.
Block prining
It is not the first time I am posting block printing but the results are always too special and unique for me to easily avoid another post. Therefore I will not talk and let photos speak for themselves.
Drawing hands making hands
Before starting to work on our clay relief project, a little challenging task of studying and drawing the hands.
Children’s rights
Talking about children’s rights in a technique of a collage caused a need to talk about nudity in art since we are using many art magazines that are so cracking funny.
Collages turned out so meaningful as well.
Monotype
This is an easy printing technique to use in a classroom. Rolling the paint on a plastic foil, placing it paint down on a printing paper and drawing with a sharp item on the back side of the foil, students will get one time results.
Joan Miró
In our PYP Unit “Role models” Grade 2 discussed Joan Miró. We broke his colours down to basics, black and white and his shapes to little potatos that are sometimes overlapping opening possibilities for the third shape and a new colour. We added lots of soft lines.
Poetry works
While creating our poetry work for the March Madness call, we looked into the work of artist Tom Phillips, some pointillist painters and the movement itself. In addition we are working on a poem build out of words written in the page of a book so it is coincidental sort of writing. It is quite interesting and the whole process of art is left to the children. Nice, open, free project.
