1st & 5th Students will be reminded of history lessons about Ancient Egypt and will be working on two projects simultaneously while one project has various stages of drying. One will be a portrait of an Egyptian pharaoh or Queen. The other project will be sculpting a Canopic jar and add sculpted organs within. *making connections with history making scientific connections while sculpting and observing different organs

drawing profile of face sculpting/ paper mache design patterns

2nd & 6th Students will look at some examples of mosaics from their history time lines.

Then they will create a drawing of a still life and implement it in a mosaic design. Sixth grade will be asked to use a contrast of warm and cool colors on a paper mosaic and second grade will use manipulatives such as clay and dyed noodles. *observation skills connecting history with art implementing a technique color theory fine motor skills planning and conceptualizing

3RD GRADE Third grade is studying all about insects in their science class. In order to make artistic connections, students will given worksheets with half of an insect missing. They will have to use light measuring and observation skills along with symmetrical applications to finish the other half of their insect. Then they will be asked to combine features from different insects to create their own bug. The execution of this will be accomplished by embossing their insect in metal and coloring it with permanent markers. *symmetry connections with science and biology making a unique bug design embossing/ scupting

4th GRADE In history class fourth graders have learned about Queen Victoria and her era. During this time many people began to create homes that had more decorative elements that were less symmetrical.

“Queen Victoria ruled Britain (1837 to 1901).

During this time, industrialization brought many innovations in architecture. There is a wide variety of Victorian styles, each with its own distinctive features.” oldhouse. com Students will become architects for this project and learn about different elements that make a Victorian home. They are given a handout with examples of these elements and set to work designing their own Victorian home. *history connections architecture use of assymetry watercolor pen and ink (permanent marker) http://community.art-is-fun.com/group/how-to-torials/ forum/topics/markers-tutorials

MIDDLE SCHOOL Middle school will have an opportunity to explore the use of graph paper as an aid to making geometric art. We will begin with simple “pixel art” and move to creating a design with two points and angles that go in an ABC pattern (point A, B, and C). They will learn how to make different 3d images and eventually make a cube with a graph design on all sides. *connecting math and art 3d shapes, patterns, and angles shading creating a 3d object with design work all around it.

Seasonal Art: Winter Color Theory and Emotion

history/science

FEBRUARY art class graDEs 1 - 8 TREE SILHOUETTE AND PAINTING Students will do a picture study of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s Hunters in the Snow.

They will try to give a narrative to explain the events depicted. For their art project, they will create a unique tree silhouette and will either make a cut out of it, or an inked illustration. The background will use color to give a particular feeling. Perhaps they will decide to make it feel cold as one would expect, or they will make the background warm in juxtaposition with the winter tree.
