• How is a compass used in art making?
• How can we use lines and patterns effectively in a design?

The 3rd/4th grade class made RADIAL DESIGNS.  They drew concentric circles using compasses.  Inside the circles, they drew patterns and designs.  Can you tell this class is really into Pac Man?

Alphabet Art-- 1st Grade

Art using the Alphabet

1st Grade

The 1st graders experimented with balance and design.  They learned how letters and words could be used in art.  The art of Stuart Davis was shown and discussed.  To create this artwork, the students drew letters stacked, turned and scattered.  Letters were outlined in black marker and colored in with crayons or markers.
