Every year our school has a
big evening event where students and parents can come shop at the book fair and
take pictures with Santa. PTA always asks for some festive art to hang on
the walls around the school to help set the mood. The following projects
are what we did for this years event.
1st Grade Abstract Christmas Trees
The first
grade classes created truly unique Christmas trees using pattern repetition
within each section of their trees. students were able to create their own tree
designs but had to be sure not to have two sections the same. Students were asked to focus on
variety and pattern as they used line to create this project. Students then painted their trees using a
variety of colors to symbolize a decorated Christmas tree. The Medium used for this project was
pencil, permanent marker, watercolor and tempera paints.
Second
Grade
Ornament
Design
The second grade classes created truly unique
ornaments using a circle tracer and then creating patterned repetition in line
design format. Students were asked to
focus on variety and pattern as they used line to create this project. The Medium used for this project was
pencil, permanent marker, and watercolor paints.
Fifth
Grade
Glowing
Lights
The fifth grade classes created realistic looking
strings of lights. Students started this
project by gluing a 30 inch thread to the paper and then practiced using oil
pastels and blending them to create the appearance of glowing lights. Students focused on continuity and harmony so
that the lights were unified in size and balanced on their paper to give the
appearance of realistic lights. Students
finished this project by adding white accents using the oil pastels and
mimicking light reflection that naturally occurs in shinny objects like glass.
