Students experimented with this new and unique medium and had a blast learning about blending. Check out some of our cute snow people! During the month of December students K-5 at Harlan have been creating winter wonderlands. Grades K-3 have been exploring ways to use geometric shapes in art. We created winter landscape paintings with triangle pine trees and rectangle tree trunks and circle snowflakes. There is currently a display of this beautiful artwork outside the art room. Grades 4 -5 has been experimenting with the oil pastel resist technique. Students used oil pastels to create bare winter trees as well as a white snowy scene. Next students painted watercolors directly overtop of the oil pastel designs to create their resist. During the festive month of December 4th and 5th graders created candy cane op-art. Op art, also known as optical art, is a style of visual art that makes use of optical illusions. We experimented with make candy cane op-art. Our goal was to alternate directional lines to create the illusion that the candy canes are popping off the page. Vincent 3rd Grade McGinnis During the month of November students grades 3-5 explored the art of active lines. Active lines include zig zag lines, curved lines, and diagonal lines. During this project students had the exciting opportunity to listen to music and create active lines that mimic the sounds of the music. Students created these different types of line patterns inside the sections of a fall leave. Enjoy! Sumayyah 4th Grade Jezewski During the month of September students were studying directional lines such as horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines. Students discovered that we see directional lines in nature all the time. Together we learned how to create a fall landscape using directional lines. Students loved experimenting with different mediums such as chalk, crayon, pencil, and marker. Independently students tried blending and smearing chalk to create different effects in the sky and on the ground.
