Fifth grade artists have been studying Ancient Greece and have just begun their second art project involving Greek gods and goddesses. If you are volunteering at FCCS in the near future, check out the awesome vases hanging in the Art hallway!
Sixth grade artists are finishing up weaving, a cross-culture art form. They completed readings on textiles used in Asian and African cultures. As the weaving project wraps up, students will then begin papier-mâché African masks. This is a multi-step project, and will most likely take the entire Term III to complete.
I am really excited about the current seventh and eighth grade project, since it is a large collaborative artwork! Previously, students research a modern art style (either Impressionism, Pointillism, Fauvism, or Realism) using a Symbaloo set up on my website, and will now be using their medium of choice to recreate a small portion of The Mona Lisa. Once all the tiles are assembled, they will create an abstract recreation of the iconic Renaissance artwork using a variety of art techniques and media.
As always, students are assigned homework weekly, having a full seven days to complete it. If you have not already signed up for the Remind classes, please do so in order to receive updates and reminders on homework.
Thank you,
Ms. Strasser
