Welcome Preschool:  Introduction to Art via Smartboard Interactive. Preschoolers utilized the smartboard to learn the basics of art class. They learned the three primary colors.

 

Kindergarten: Introduction to Printmaking with Apples and Paint. Each student distinguished between common art forms by using an apple as a tool to make a print.  

 

First and Second: Students created a Self-Portrait.They depicted their self-identity using small mirrors and measuring their facial features. This lesson supported the understanding of the basic art elements and principles.

Human Dignity:

“Life, which is a gift of God, a value always to be protected and promoted”

Third & Fourth :  Students created artwork that demonstrates Positive and Negative Space.What is Positive and Negative Space?Simply put, positive space is best described as the areas in a work of art that are the subjects, or areas of interest. Negative space is area around the subjects, or areas of interest.Take a look at the image below.

Fifth, Sixth & Seventh: Students utilized the first 15 minutes of class to finish their self-portraits. Afterwards, they created a “Notan”. They learned the history of the “Notan” and the negative and positive space that surrounds this design. They reflected on their artwork and revised it accordingly.

Eighth: Students finished Self-Portrait. Introduced “rolled paper” design. Paper Relief. Students learned how to identify how an artist’s choice of media relates to the ideas and images in the work.
