4th graders finished doing a series of physical and digital creations.
First they drew a silly person chosen from a "how to draw" packet. They photographed it and made it a high contrast image:

These were then made into Pop art in the style of Andy Warhol:

Then the image was used to learn some graphic design techniques, positive & negative, and reflection as they turned it into a Downton Abbey styled graphic design:

This group tried out
our dancing monster stop motion lesson (you can try this out on STEAM night this May!)
View the work created by 4th graders during the
Animation Workshop
offered for those hoping to enter a film into the Reflections Contest. Congrats to Katie for moving on to the next level!
Students are currently working on a Rene Magritte inspired surrealist painting based on "
Son of Man" and preparing for our trip to the Art Institute of Chicago in April with fun games that get us thinking and talking about art. Stay tuned!
