This is a 4-in-1 picture.  Here we learn about warm and cool colors associated with the different seasons.

   

 

Panda Painter:

 

Wacky Space:

Here we practice our 3-d skills to create the illusion that the spacecraft is not flat and in fact 3-dimensional.  Fun colors are encouraged to help created a wacky space theme.

         

 

Baby Dinosaur:

This is another project where the aim is to create a 3-dimensional egg so we can see the outside and inside of the egg.  We then learn how building up basic shapes can create an adorable baby dinosaur.

 

 

Charzard:

This project is created by first using basic shapes such as ovals and curves , and building them up to create our image.

Weeks 6-7

 

Mosaic Sun:

We learned how to create more realistic and proportional faces by using some simple tricks.  This project was also aimed to focus on design and mosaic pattern. 

   

 

  

2-in-1 Project:

The purpose of this project is to create a 2-in1 image, meaning you do the outline of one image with a completely different picture inside it. Though most kids chose to do a Halloween-themed piece, some kids did other themes.

      

  

 

 

Spooky Haunted House:

The main criteria of this piece was to make it 3-d.  By using simple diagonal, parallel and straight lines, we were easily able to achieve that look.

Asymmetrical & Symmetrical Designs:

    

 

Baby Dinosaur:

This is another project where the aim is to create a 3-dimensional egg so we can see the outside and inside of the egg.  We then learn how building up basic shapes can create an adorable baby dinosaur.

We talked Impressionism, Van Gogh, and how he went about creating his pieces.  Impressionism is not supposed to be a perfect blend of colors but instead bold, distinct lines and curves as illustrated in our pieces below:
