2nd Grade Artwork
This year in art second grade artists will be exploring a variety of art making techniques including: painting, weaving, sculpting, printing and drawing. These techniques will include the following art materials: paint, clay, oil pastels, and many more. In second grade students will also be learning about more advanced terms and concepts including Texture (see and feel), Balance, Subject Matters and different Art Tools. These projects are an opportunity for students to express themselves using a variety of art materials and tools.
Current Project
Aboriginal Animal Dot Paintings
Students have been learning about the Aboriginal culture of artists in Australia for this next project. They learned not only what type of art they create (dot paintings), but also how each artwork is created. To create their own artworks in the style of the Aboriginal culture students focused on three main art vocabulary terms: organic shape, texture see/feel, and neutral colors. Using these terms and a variety of new art making techniques students created stunning Aboriginal animal dot paintings.
