Author's Week

The focus of Authors Week this year were the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" books. The Media teacher made the overall theme around the Olympics and Ancient Greece. I had 5th grade make a frieze and pediment for a Doric Style Greek temple based on their favorite book characters. My Art club/aftercare helpers/buddies made the door decorations from two different Percy Jackson Books. "The Sea of Monsters" and "The Battle of The Labyrinth"

Each class also had to make their own door showing who their favorite author was. I chose Leo Lionni. Mine was hung on the gym door since it has an overhang and the Art room doesn't and technically I am am a PE assistant (bad idea) so I am in there a few periods a day. AND the Coach and I are buds. 

We learned about pattern, YAY!

Me looking as crazy as usual-Yes I wore all these outfits to work.

Kindergarten-we only did this for half a period-I changed my mind about using them, but what they did came out pretty good.

 

More Kindergarten

This was loosely  based on pattern. Its hard to see but every other weaving strip has pattern on it. These are so adorable!

-This won Honorable mention at the diocesan art show!

3rd grade

I thought I had more pictures of these...These were foreground, middle ground, background city-capes. Each element was made separately and added to a final paper. Combination of pattern and plain paper

2nd grade

I also thought I had more of these. Shucks! I will add more

Primary Color Art

3rd grade overlapping (loosely inspired by Mondrian) primary color line collage

1st grade Primary color superheros *most of these are not done yet-these are the few that I have*

 Pre K4  primary color paintings

-it's pretty amazing to hear what the kids who are painting them tell you what  they are of. I get things like "It's an airplane".
