MUSICAL PAINTINGS
Students created abstract watercolor paintings while listening to different genres of music for the duration of class. Students allowed the emotion of the music affect the color and stroke of the paint, learning how they can portray emotion in an artwork.
THERE IS NO IMPOSTER AMONG US
Students explored the ideas of identity, community and the effects of individuals in a community. They analyzed the work of citizen artist Vanessa German and the video game 'Among Us' to examine their individual identity and the collective identity of the community by creating identity poems and power figures.
WHO IS BASQUIAT?
Students created their own works of art inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat, influenced by his gestural style and the iconic Basquiat Crown.
PENDULUM PAINTINGS
Students Learn about the forces of motion and gravity with a new painting technique by exchanging the paint brush for a swinging pendulum. A pendulum is a fixed object hung from a point so it can swing freely back and forth due to the force of gravity. When discussing the concept with children a great example to use is a swing. As a the swing moves back and forth it is demonstrating the physics of a pendulum. The swing is moving back and forth due to the force of gravity on the swing.
