It’s late April here at McKinley Art and we are still hard at work on our awesome art projects and getting ready for the big Art Show! The Art Show will be Tuesday, April 30th Thursday, May 2nd @ Central Intermediate School. Please check the school flier for times. Come stop by and take a look at all the hard work our students have put in throughout the school year!
In class our kindergarteners are working hard on starting their weaving paper weaving projects. We are focused on pattern and fine motor skills. Our first graders are wrapping up their Monochromatic paintings. This project has students learning that you can make a picture using only one color by using its lights and darks versions. The second grade classes are working on a fun project based off of the artist Pop Artist Jeff Koons’s Balloon Dog sculptures. In third grade our students are working on cereal boxes. Their focus is to create a cereal box that would appeal to kids. Fourth grade classes are starting on Shattered Painting. This project focuses on the concept of mixing colors with paint and using them to make a monochromatic painting.
Have a great rest of the year and keep on making ART!
