Second Grade Leader Portraits

The second grade artists studied leadership in their classrooms. Each student had to give a presentation on the leader of their choice. In the art room we studied portraiture and thought it was a good idea to make a formal portrait of their leader. Here are the results:

Theme and Variation

The third grade artist made still life paintings this week. There were many interpretations of the subject. Enjoy

Leader Painting

The second grade artists are doing a report on a leader of their choice in their classroom. We connected that learning to the art classroom by having them make a formal portrait of their leader. These are the starts. They will paint them in. I thought they were so great I had to post the drawings.

Where are the spiders? All over the art room!!!!

Like with many new projects, problems soon present themselves. We knew we would make the spiders body from news paper and tape covered with plaster-o-paris fabric. The legs, however, posed a whole set of problems. We have used different gauges of wire, fine chicken wire, and aluminum foil. One class even made their spider bodies from ceramic clay. There are upwards of 100 spiders in my room, most of them upside down. It looks pretty creepy.

Show Posters

Preparing for the spider art installation, the fourth grade artists had to create show posters. I had shown the student artists old B movie posters for inspiration as well as modern art show posters. These posters are to peak the interest of the rest of the school. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the infestation.
