Fourth graders have been creating fantasy characters. We looked at how Edward Gorey used line to create texture on his own characters. Students used pencil to create their creatures and then used hatching, cross-hatching and created textures to enhance their characters. FInally, we explored watercolor washes. Using watercolor, students tinted their work. Check them out!
Welcome to the South School Art Studio blog! I am an art teacher at South School in New Canaan, CT. In the South School Art Studio, I make masterpieces and messes with hundreds of artists and designers in grades K through 4. My teaching emphasizes incorporating contemporary artists into our curriculum, material explorations and student-directed art making. This is a place where everyone can see what we are up to.
This blog is primarily for the PS 58 community. I hope that families will keep up with what is happening in the studio and with everything that we are looking at. I want to increase the home-school collaboration in the arts so that they become not just a once-a-week activity but part of the students' everyday lives. I hope it works!
Just love the trees with styrofoam! Great costume of the Hermit crab! You are sooo Creative!
