Rainbow Week!
Our Amazing School Chef has started the fun tradition of Rainbow Week at the Fayston School. Each day the school lunch is based on one color of the rainbow and students wear that color. We have been working on Rainbow week art lessons, including a collaborative Color Wheel Collage Mural and Gelli Printing.
I found this fascinating infographic about the meanings of different colors around the world. Take a look!

Faux Leaves Stained Glass by Grade Three & Four
Third and fourth grade artists looked at several examples of leaf artwork, including Georgia O'Keeffe. We also examined Stained Glass Windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Then we went outside to collect fallen leaves to inspire our work. Artists traced their leaves on the paper to create a balanced composition. Then they traced their lines with black glue (glue+black tempera paint). When the glue dried (into a giant black puddle on my art room floor... oops!), they used warm and cool color groups to paint their leaves and backgrounds. We used liquid watercolors.

I'm back!
After a brief stint at Waitsfield School and a lovely February break I am now back at Fayston until the end of the school year. Mrs. Morse will now be covering my classes at Waitsfield for the rest of the year.
I returned from maternity leave to find many wonderful lessons completed or in progress.
First and second graders created "Stick-Start Abstract Paintings." They used sticks to print abstract designs in black acrylic, then painted the white space with liquid watercolors.
Third and fourth graders learned about the color wheel and complimentary colors.
They also created Picasso face collages.
Kindergarten artists also learned about Picasso and created Picasso Portraits.
Click here to learn more about the progression of Picasso's portraits from realistic to abstract.
First and second graders created collages inspired by Jerry Uelsmann.
Fifth and sixth graders learned about Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. They created buildings in Hundertwasser's architectural style. 
First and second graders painted green paper in different values and textures, then used these to create tree collages. 
Thank you to the wonderful Kindergarten class for such a warm welcome back and a fabulous Dr. Seuss hat!

Tissue collage flowers inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe
For this year's Original Works fundraiser, first and second graders created flowers in the style of Georgia O'Keeffe. We looked at examples of O'Keeffe's work and close up photographs of different flowers. Artists imagined themselves as bugs on the flowers to create make sure they filled the page with their creation. They chose warm or cool colors of tissue paper to fill their flowers, then painted background with tempera in the opposite set of colors.
Here are some examples of Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings and pastel drawings. Notice how she blends colors and captures the details of each flower.
This color wheel shows warm and cool colors:
Here are the flowers made by first and second grade artists:

Kindergarten Kandinskys and Lines and Circles
Kindergarten artists looked at the painting "Squares with concentric circles" by Wassily Kadinsky, then created their own circle drawings with oil pastels and liquid watercolor paint.
In an earlier art class, Kindergarten artists explored different types of lines and created line paintings, also using oil pastel and liquid watercolor. We tried to paint these paintings using the color wheel as our guide.

Since Spring is taking its own sweet time to arrive here, I thought our front hallway could use some bright, colorful artwork to bring in some light and cheer.
