Please note: Students in K-8 are invited to submit their artwork for display in the first-ever ICSJ Art Show! The Art Show will run in conjunction with the Spring Show in late May. Students in grades 5-8 are also invited to return forms indicating their interest in participating in the Art on Sedgwick community fundraiser art show. Thank you to those who have RSVP'ed that they would like to attend!
Kindergarten
Kindergarten students in K2 met this week and created Easter egg paintings after discussing the important concept of contrast. This was a wonderful opportunity for students to apply their learning throughout the year, including pattern, color, shape, and much more in addition to the contrast of light colors and dark colors with the watercolor resist.
Also, please take a look at the completed Monet water lily window display!
First Grade
First grade enjoyed a lesson about illustrators and picture books before sharing in the creation of their own picture book cover illustrations! Students colored and cut colorful paper to apply as a collage. This coming week students will conclude their illustrations. Early finishers will write stories inside!
Second Grade
Now that the 2nd grade totem poles have been assembled (and nearly reach the ceiling!), students have moved on to the creation of flowers for our upcoming prayer service honoring our Mother Mary. These beautiful flowers will be assembled into a crown and garland by the 8th grade.
Here is the finished totem pole display!
Third Grade
Third graders this week concluded any final details to their mixed media cityscapes, and they began to apply and paint materials for their found object sculpture! Students had the option not to paint, or instead to paint white or grey over their materials. The results are striking!
Fourth Grade
Fourth graders learned about photography in the past versus photography in the present digital age. Then, students learned the importance of trying new, unique angles, getting close to one's subject, and paying attention to the background of photos before creating fun and entertaining photos with props and classmates in the art room. Great job, 4th Grade!
Fifth Grade
Fifth grade read about the process of animation at its beginnings, in which artists created hand-drawn storyboards to tell a story in a sequence of events. Students then learned about modern digital animation before the creation of a storyboard of their own, including audio and directions for a videographer! Students shared a variety of apps and techniques they have used to create their own animations.
Sixth Grade
Students reviewed important components of design from last week's presentation in order to apply these principles to their Music posters featuring music from around the world! Students remembered to have dominant art to draw the reader's eye in, and to use color and visuals to add meaning, not just decoration. Great job, 6th grade!
Seventh Grade
Seventh grade students took risks in experimenting with pointillism as they continued to create Mexican-art inspired portraits. It is hard to risk trying an unfamiliar technique rather than relying upon the familiar, but the results can be stunning -- you never know until you try. Way to go, 7th grade, on having a positive attitude and open mind!
Eighth Grade
Eighth graders again continued to work on their Frank Bear portraits. Some students who have finished at a faster pace have gone on to create additional paintings, to help out around the classroom, or to read from the rich art texts available in the art room. When students wrap up their Frank Bear portraits, they will begin their careers in art project. Students will work to research information in Language Arts, as well!
Have a safe, blessed and happy Easter!
