3rd Grade Art News
Dear Parents,
Here
is a snapshot of what we have been doing this fall.
What We’ve Learned
For the first project of the year, each student drew a still-life,
an arrangement of objects that doesn’t move.
They could choose which still life arrangement that they wanted to
draw. Each one has fruit and/or
vegetables. They had to draw large and
fill the space and show that one object was in front of the other to show
depth. Then they used watercolors to
color them. Shadows were added to show
value.
Elements of Art:
-line
-shape
-space
-color
-value
For the next project, the students made a drawing of an
“illuminated beast”, a type of art created in the Middle Ages. The students enjoyed combing different parts
of animals to create their own “beast”.
Currently we are continuing on our medieval theme, and the students are drawing their own castle. We are doing this project to learn about
different types of architecture.
Architects are artists that design buildings.
Please check out my art classroom blog! I
will be posting updates of what we are doing in the art room. This is a great place to see what is
happening during a particular project, instead of just the end result.
