5th grade cupcakes
We looked at art by Wayne Thiebaud and then recreated his work using cupcakes as our subject. Thiebaud's work falls under the Pop art category and became popular in the art world in 1962. His paintings of cakes and pies are colorful and whimsical. Our chalk drawings of cupcakes are no different! We learned about value and blending using chalk. They turned out amazing!!

Molas- 3rd grade
Today, Molas are sold as art pieces and vary in cost depending on the size and complexity of the design. My parents lived in Panama for a year and this is a mola they brought back for me:
Aboriginal art- 2nd grade
We looked at work by the Aboriginal people of Australia. These native Australians would draw on the bark of trees using animals as their subject matter. The animals were drawn and filled in with line and dot patterns.
Blue dog- 1st grade
The first graders learned about George Rodrigue, an Smerican artist from Louisiana. He painted his dog, Tiffany and his work caught on quickly. He used bright colors, starting with blue then he ventured into dogs of other colors.

We used cool colors and learned the watercolor technique wet on wet to create the water for our reflection scene. We used tempera paint to create our trees. To make the reflection, we folded our paper in half to make a print.
