Kindergarten is starting the year off learning about line and discussing primary and secondary colors. We have learned about the "horizon line" which is where the "sky meets the ground." The Kindergarteners made a fall collage showing their horizon line and incorporating fall trees and other details.
First Grade

First Grade will start off art learning about various watercolor techniques. They will get to use these skills to create watercolor fall trees. Look for these wonderful fall paintings in the first grade wing.
Second Grade
September
Second grade started the year off studying Georgia O'Keefe and her love for depicting nature. We examined her tendency to enlarge her subject and study it close up. We focused on many of her flowers and the beautiful colors and simple style. The second graders studied leaves and using oil pastels blended the warm fall colors to create a beautiful effect of an enlarged fall leaf.
