Last week, I introduced the second graders to contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama. We looked at images of her artwork, and pulled out a few key terms, such as installation. contemporary art and organic shapes. After viewing and discussing her art. the second graders began building a mini installation, inspired by Kusama. They built and decorated a platform, and started thinking about the organic shapes they will build and add to the platform next class. Stay tuned!

Today, the second graders completed their paper abstract forms and really elevated their designs with their details. I introduced students to their artists brochures, and let them know that every time we learn about a new artist, they will fill out a brochure so they can remember what they learned. This week, they were the artists in the spotlight, so they wrote about themselves :) I love these!
Last week, students returned to school from winter break and they were the artists of the week! we talked about the words abstract and form and I showed students a few techniques so they could create their own non representational 3D forms. They had a great time and asked to continue these next class!
