5th graders learned about the Surrealism movement and the artist Rene Magritte, focusing on his work, The False Mirror (see below). The students then experimented with charcoal, blending stumps and kneaded rubber erasers to create value and implied form. They combined this with their knowledge of oil pastel to create a realistic eye. Finally, students created their own False Mirror using the Animation and Superimpose app. Their task was to draw something traveling through the iris that represents them in some way.

Kindergarteners learned about Gustav Klimt and the common themes throughout his artwork like lines shapes, patterns, gold leaf and swirls. We looked specifically at Klimt's work, Baby (see below). Students then set out to create their own quilt pieces using different types of lines and organic shapes. For the background students drew swirls using metallic color sticks on black paper. Finally, students collaged their designed pieces and a photo of themselves on their background making sure to overlap the shapes in the form of a quilt.
First grade students began this project by discussing the different attributes that make monsters scary, silly and cute (see what the students came up with below). Students sketched a cute, scary and silly monster and chose their favorite to use for this project. We discussed different types, sizes, and thicknesses of lines to create the hole in the wall. Students used their knowledge of overlap to draw their monster hiding behind the crack in the wall. Finally, using oil pastel and colored pencil the students colored and shaded their work.
