This year's art curriculum is all about exploring different careers in the arts. I wanted to make sure students learned a variety of different options as well as make sure it was organized in a way I could manage all of my 10 grade levels. So that's where my Monthly art themes come in. Each month we have a different category to explore. All of my classes explore this theme in different ways and different levels.
October's theme was Architecture. Here is just a few of the projects that were created.
Kindergarten:
Students designed their own dream playgrounds after looking at some of the craziest from around the world! They also practiced cutting out their shapes with scissors.
First Grade:
Students made some 3D houses from boxes and paper towel rolls to create these colorful houses.
Second Grade:
Students took a look at contemporary illustrator and artist Marz Jr. They also looked at Buffalo Architecture icons to help make these drawings. Do you recognize any of the white buildings?
Fourth Grade:
We looked at Victorian Houses to help inspire these foam prints. Since it was close to Halloween, some of them decided to add some spooky twists.
