6TH. GRADE PICASSO STYLE SELF PORTRAITS

These are three examples of the 6th. grade assignment to do your self portrait in PICASSO style.

5TH GRADE TREE STUDIES

These painting were the review painting done the first time the students came to art this year. They were given the choice to do something that showed all the things that they could remember from Kindergarten and incorporate those things into a Tree Painting. These were two that I thought did a good job of overlapping perspectives and color usage.

The students can see their work and the comments you make. Please do comment

Kindergarten and 3rd. grade artwork.

The first is the work of a third grade student. This is a watercolor and crayon resist painting of a fun event. Notice the perspective and overlap in the figures with crossed legs. Great little concept. The second piece is the work of a kindergarten student.  This is his first time to paint with me. Isn't the use of the watercolor across the top amazing. Beautiful.

IMPRESSIONISTIC IRIS

This was done by a former student. I just found it today in an old folio.

The student did this in the 8th grade she is in the 11th grade now.

It measures 18X24 inches and it was painted with Prang student grade watercolors using Q-Tips for brushes.

I hope you enjoy my Students works.

PROMISING PICASSO'S

This is two of my 6Th graders painting the class has been working on while we study the great painting "GUERNICA" by Picasso. We talked about abstraction and taking apart something and putting it back together a new way. At the beginning of the year we made pottery pots. For this painting they were to draw the parts or piece of clay that they used to construct one of their pots. looking at the pot from many angles they were to draw the pot as Picasso would. We then used black and white TEMPERA paint to create the many shades of gray to complete pieces like these. It was a fantastic project.
