Quarter 4:
*Space in art: The children will be introduced to the terms fore ground, middle ground and back ground while they draw a composition in a project called "Selfie".
(pictures to come soon)
*Value and color in art: The children had the chance to practice their shading skills while coloring the value scale in the color they preferred. After this, they were prompted to use these color tones in a real object or drawing.
(pictures to come soon)
*Purposes in art: The children learnt about the different purposes in art through this Quizlet flashcards set (https://quizlet.com/99653938/5-purposes-of-art-flash-cards/).
After this, they worked on free compositions while they illustrated one of the purposes of art.

Quarter 3:
The Sculpture Experience:
Wire Art
Children enjoyed creating art with soft wire. They first sketched their work planning for their art work. Second, the tried to draw it using the wire. Look at their work:
Plaster work
Children from Ms Isberg and Ms Mendez's classes enjoyed the sessions dedicated to this project and had the chance to know the power of plaster as a sculpting material. Take a look at the progress of their work.
First, children built a wooden structure for their artwork.
Second, children wrapped their structures in wet fabric to later apply the plaster.
Finally, once the plaster was dry, students painted their sculptures as they liked.
Wanna see the final looks? come to the art show 2017!!
Quarter 2:
October- December
Creating Texture in Drawing
We are working on developing children drawing skills, specifically in getting to create different kinds of texture. In this exercise, children were given a set of ingredients to include in the drawing of a tree: circles (or joint curves) and wooden texture. See their good and artistic job!!
Quarter 1:
August - September
Native Venezuelan Arrows
The children were shortly introduced to the Venezuelan Piaroa culture and were shown varied traditional tools used by them in ancient times for making their living. Pictures of real arrows were displayed in class and we discussed the importance of their color and design for hunting purposes.
this project of fiber art (stick wrapping) was very entertaining and interesting for the third graders as they put all their efort in doing a neat and colorful wrapping in their arrows. See their work:
September -October
The African Kanga
Kangas are the typical dress for many African citizens from ancients times until today. third graders were inspired by looking at pictures from different men women and children wearing them. As they learnt a bit about the African culture, they could see the many types of lines integrated into the designs of Kangas.
They were prompted to reproduce the pictures using common elements, varied lines and their imagination using chalk pastels on white paper. For many it was their first time using those, but they did great works of art. Take a look!
