Joan Miro Parties

2nd graders looked at the artwork of abstract artist, Joan Miro His art looks like this:

We identified that he uses geometric shapes (shapes with names) as well as organic shapes ( shapes without names). Students then played a game where they rolled dice to decide on the shape of body, head, eyes, etc. They also needed to make a boarder of geometric shapes. These characters look like they are ready to party!

8th Grade pop-Art Inspired Paintings

The 8th grade enrichment group, the Ohio Buckeyes, recently learned about Pop-Art its histories and traits. One of the defining elements of Pop-Art is its use of color-bright bold color. 8th graders learned how to use color in an intentional way using color scheme.

Students chose an icon- a symbol that was important to them and drew it multiple times. Then they painted each section in a different color scheme.

Paul Klee cities

First graders learned about artist Paul Klee (pronounced Paul Klay). He created colorful abstract geometric cities.

First graders learned the difference between a shape and a line. They learned how to use a ruler to create large shapes and then divide the large shapes into even smaller sections to create their own geometric cities in the style of Paul Klee.
