Quarter 4: March - June
The Carving project: again children meet with plaster as media of expression. This time they will be using the substractive technique of sculpture: carving.
The first step was to sketch their subject matter. This last week of April, they will be carving their plaster.

Space/depth in art: children were through a guided observation of the visual ways in which depth is seen in real landscapes and how it is created in painting.
size, overlapping and color tone were the elements they had to combine in order to achieve the goal in their work: creating the illusion of space or depth. See some of their works:

The Fun-Art-Challenge: children tested their own artistic knowledge and skills through this challenge. As they followed instructions, they integrate each of the elements indicated. See some of their great art works!

Quarter 3: January - March
The Sculpture Experience:
Clay work
Children from Ms Bodeman and Mr Devillier's classes enjoyed three sessions of clay work and explored their ideas in three dimensions. Here are some of the results:
Foil Gesture Figures
This time students were prepared in advance to work with foil and use the scrunching technique for making a human figure. They were told to sketch poses they would like to create with the foil and finally decided on one.
Their work, everyone's, is remarkable!
3D Hand effect: This project was one the students enjoyed. They were practicing how to create form on a bi-dimensional surface by playing with line and color. See their masterpieces.
Quarter 2: October-December
Fiber Art Project: Yarn Painting/Drawing (Picasso-inspired Sof Sculpture)
We enjoyed observing Picasso portraits and analyzing his perception of the human face. After describing and talking about his "Portrait of Dora Maar" and "The Weeping Woman", both classes were invited to draw a portrait of a dear person to them (or a character of their preference) distorting the location of the face elements, like Picasso did.
Portrait of Dora Maar
The Weeping Woman
One class of students were later introduced to yarn painting and drawing techniques and asked to trace their portrait with this material.
Ms Santiago and I are very proud of their works of art! We sincerely congratulate all and each one of our artists for showing such great creativity and effort!
Quarter 1: September- October
