Well, it's obvious Mrs. Walton is not a great blogger! Well, at least not on this. I am EXCELLENT at keeping up to date on our Wilchester Art facebook page! So, if you are looking for stuff and what is going on on a much more frequent basis, check www.facebook.com/wilchesterart
Let me start with some of the projects I have done since I have started at WCE!
First off, we have some Jim Dine Artwork.
In the first grade lesson, since I did not have ink or plates, or tools for printmaking, we did monoprints using tempera paint and sheet protectors. I have to say they turned out really well!
We started by each student added tempera paint blobs on top of a sheet protector which had a heart drawn on a sheet of paper inside of it. They had to work somewhat quickly so it wouldn't dry on them. Then, they lined up their paper and lightly dropped it on top of the sheet protector and lightly rubbed the paper; lifting the paint from the sheet protector. When they peeled it off, they had the mirror image of what they had originally put down with paint. After it was dry, we went around the blobs with sharpie to keep and make the shape of the heart more recognizable. We used either warm colors or cool colors for the heart. Once everything was finished, they cut the heart out leaving a "picture frame edge" around the heart. Then, they glued it to black paper and cut a picture frame out again. Then, they mounted the final piece on a piece of construction paper in the opposite color scheme. They turned out beautiful and the oohs and ahhhs of the kids as they pulled their print was awesome. They wanted to do many of them!
