Art Tuesday Sept.16

3rd grade art
Unit 2 lessons 3 and 4: Warmed up by coloring a mandala. Finished making an initial letter. Learned about artist Giott's paintings. He made humans look realistic by the use of shadows. He showed the illusion of space by over lapping and making the objects in the background lighter. We looked at many of his paintings and compared them to painting done 100 yrs. before.


1st grade
Unit 1 lessons 8 and 9: Read about art and artists Brueghel, Inness, and Bierstadt in the landscape book. I will have my video camera charged and ready for the next one we have great discussions. (Pages 8-12)

Made prints using found objects.

Look at lines in Matisse painting "The Purple Robe."
