You did a wonderful job with your first attempt at "Circle Art". I love the lines and patterns that you drew inside of the circle. You are on your way to learning how much fun using Math concepts in your art projects. Be sure to add a statement saying how you made this great circle art and what you liked best. Very good job!

You have achieved the standard of using the principles of art to create a unique artwork. I can see your "focal point" or "center of interest". You have used the correct colors for the color family of your choice. Love how the arrows MOVE the viewers eye around your art. You are learning all the tricks and techniques that will help you become an accomplished artists. YOU GO 4TH GRADE. Your watercolor painting skills keep getting better and better. Beautiful compositions too.

What beautiful work! As you found out, the principal of art MOVEMENT is fun and challenging to create in an art work. You have achieved the standard of using MOVEMENT in an original design. This project can also be done with plain white paper but your beautiful lines and colors really make it "POP". My eye does move around your composition. Challenges were making the curves using straight lines. Very good job for your first try. I hope you decide to try this project over and over. The more you do it, the easier it will be come and soon your line with be twisting and curving all over the place making your viewer quite dizzy! Next step..........Optical Illusion Design! Add a statement to your work. Tell me what you like the best and what was the most difficult to complete. Keep up the very creative work.!

Congratulations! You have achieved the drawing standard of using the techniques of highlighting and shading to make a 2D object appear to be 3D. Your patterns are very authentic and look like the Indian Pottery we looked at in class. As you practice these techniques more, you will get better and better in drawing objects that look "real". Keep up the great work. You also learned how important it is to know History as well as Art. Both are important.

There were several standards that you had to achieve in order to have a successful project. First did you draw a geometric composition using a ruler and a compass correctly? If so, good for you. Next was the large triangle the focal point of this art? Did you use 2 different color families so that the large triangle really stood out. If you answered YES to all those questions, good for you! You have achieved all the art standards. This was not an easy task. You found out that it takes PRACTICE to use a ruler and compass correctly. These skills should also be used in your math classes now and in the future. Beautiful results. Add a statement to your project here that also answers these questions. A job well done. Keep up the good work.

Your mask is amazing. You did a fantastic job of designing using basic geometric and freeform shapes when creating your design. The masks look very authentic (like real Kachina Masks). I can tell that you enjoyed the "collage" technique of cutting and pasting to create art. You have achieved the standard of pulling knowledge from a core subject to use as inspiration for an original art project. Your performance dance was also very good. I hope you have watched the video of this project on my blog and on the www.liberty.k12.ga.us website home page. Keep up the good work.

This project incorporates history into the art lesson. We looked at the Church of Notre Dame in Paris, France and studied the Rosetta or Rose Window which is one of the most famous examples of radial design used in architecture. Maybe someday, they will travel to Paris, see this window and have pleasant memories of their art project. Beautiful results

Everyone is doing a great job with tempera paint. I love seeing all the smiles and hearing all the wonderfully excited comments once you put on the 3D glasses and look at your paintings! Art and Science is such a cool combination, don't ya think? Fantastic!
