We are starting to color our landscapes carefully with colored pencil. Students are paying particular attention to textures and details.
We finally get to print our wild things! Printmaking is an intense day full of fun and when we finish we have a gorgeous wild creature!
We will also start a landscape that illustrates the animal that students chose for their report. We will be working on this diligently for the next few weeks reviewing parts of a landscape. Students are learning about new ways that artists create an illusion of space. We read the story "Where the Wild Things are" by Maurice Sendak and then created a design for our own wild thing in a place. We needed to use the ideas of overlapping and texture on our wild things.
Students will turn these into printing plates later this week! |
