Art class with Mrs. Comrie
Week 14: We studied the artist; Parmgianini and looked at his artwork. Then we painted a lovely birch tree scene using masking tape for the white space and credit cards to apply the black part of the bark.
Week 15: We looked at paintings by Bruegell and painted a snow scene using watercolor resist and sand for texture.
Feb. 14:We watched videos on glass blowing and read about Murano glass. We made some paintings that were intended to help us with color mixing. The glass bottles were meant to be overlapped to show how the colors blended.
Feb. 21: We watched the short video again on Medieval art and took notes. This was to try to recall what the main art forms were. The children made lists of these. We did a painting that showed warm and cool colors.
March 7: We read about Gutenburg and reviewed the importance of the printing press for literature as well as Artwork! We used the art of printing to print with real fish on t-shirts! So fun!
March 21: We used the art of printing to carve our own design into styrofoam and make a nice design using our own prints.
