2nd Grade Matisse inspired interiors

In art class we looked at "Goldfish" by Henri Matisse (1869-1954).  The students drew a room, or interior, using rulers to show space.  They each added a fish in a fish bowl like Matisse, to show emphasis.  

Elements of art used:  line, shape, color, space
Principles of Design: emphasis

Third Grade Castles

Isabella, Mrs. Raitto's class

The students spent a lot of time looking at, and drawing castles.  After practicing, they drew their own castle.

Elements of Art we used: line, shape, texture, space

Principles of Design we used: pattern

Students practiced drawing their castles first in their sketchbooks.

Sketchbooks are an important part of making art and the process of creativity. Drawing ideas out first gives us the opportunity to make mistakes and improve upon them.
