Over the past two weeks, the second graders have been working on their hot coca mugs, inspired buy artist Heather Galler. Coincidentally, last Tuesday was also National Hot Cocoa Day! They used colored paper and pastels to create vibrant patterns. We talked about some design principles to keep in mind, like contrast and variety. This week, we had a hot cocoa party to celebrate their focus and hard work on their projects this semester. Cheers!

The second graders put some finishing touches on their nighttime winter landscapes by adding some fresh snow flakes and finshing up their silhouettes in the foreground. Some of these paintings also show great perspective!
The second graders did an amazing job designing their Eric Joyner Robots Vs. Donuts pictures. They also dad a great job at practicing using value to create a presence of light an shading. Before moving on to a new artist, I wanted to provide them with the opportunity to paint, while also practicing mixing tints and shades to create a sense of value. Last week, they all began their nighttime winter landscape paintings, using a sense of value in the moonlight as it blends in with the darkness. They've laid a good foundation to finish up their paintings next class.
