In remote learning today... First-grade students are working on drawing their favorite toys. Second-grade students are working on drawing a dog that is allowed to race in the Iditarod. Third-grade students are being inspired by Paul Cezanne’s still life paintings. They will first arrange a still life using three objects and then draw it. |
I chose to create a still life of my favorite childhood toy. I included a husky because that is a dog you would see in the Iditarod race. I loved Beanie Babies and as a child, I would often create pet shops with them! I would first set up the store and then pretend people were coming to buy a pet and the supplies they needed to take care of it!

In remote learning today, Kindergarten students are working on making a continuous line drawing. When finished with their line drawing they will color in every shape created by the overlapping lines. I used sharpie for my continuous line and crayons to color in every shape. Fourth-grade students are working on zentangle designs. They will first draw a contour line drawing and then add zentangles within it. Zentangle designs focus on repeating various lines and shapes. I chose to copy my Kindergarten continuous line drawing as my contour line drawing. I then filled it with zentangles, using a pencil first and then black sharpie. I love zentangle designs because the repeated patterns are so fun to create!
As we are finishing up our first week of E-Learning, many of you have been drawing by following along with the drawing tutorials on Art for Kids Hub. I love this Youtube Channel because the artist, who has drawn for years, is drawing along with a young artist, who is drawing that object, in that way, probably for the first time. It is so helpful to watch both the artist and younger artist complete these step-by-step drawings together. Here are some student uploads on our Artsonia gallery! Thank you for sharing your drawings!!
Happy 1st day of Spring and the start of Spring Break! I hope as the weather gets nicer we start to see and enjoy all the colors of Spring! I used sharpie and twistable color pencils for my drawing. Enjoy your week!!
In e-learning this week, fourth and fifth graders are working on a comic strip of what their favorite after-school activity is. Every day, when I get home from school I take my dog Charlie for a very long walk and if it is nice outside we play catch. I look forward to our walk and I bet he does too! I chose to do my e-learning project digitally. I took a picture of Charlie and then digitally drew an animation using the DoInk drawing and animation iPad app. I then layered the animation over the picture in DoInk’s composition editor. Fourth and fifth graders are familiar with this app too! My DoInk drawing animation is of Charlie sleeping and dreaming about playing catch. I often wonder what he dreams about?! He does sleep a lot! Good enough to eat?! Some of you are hard at work drawing your favorite meal. While some of you are working on coloring a picture from a coloring book. This is a coloring book page I had of art by Kathi Hanson! She is a watercolor artist and this coloring book is from 1998!! This coloring book page is printed on watercolor paper and I choose to use a material similar to the tempera paint cakes we have at school. Here are some student's favorite foods that they uploaded to our Artsonia gallery! A delicious lunch from Chipotle, mac and cheese, and popcorn! Thank you for sharing! For my older artists that enjoy sharing with me the stages of their artwork, feel free to share with me your progress pictures if you are working on a longer project. Feel free to upload even if it is not yet complete! Here are the stages of my painting. I used the app Pic Collage to put together my progress. You can see the material I used in the background it is not quite watercolor but closer to our tempera paint cakes that we have at school.
Hi Greenbrier Families, I have created a project folder on Artsonia titled 0 Remote Learning As students are completing their e-learning, if possible, feel free to upload their artwork onto Artsonia.
