SUPERINTENDENT'S STATE ART SHOW





MORE MATISSE!



So that second grade students would gain further understanding of the magnitude of the talent of Henri Matisse, we studied his painting style.  This project followed a collage, in which they were introduced to Matisse. 

We used several types of media to create these marvelous works of art. We also incorporated several elements and principles including: line, shape, color, texture, and space. Balance was discussed, as well as pattern and proportion. Enjoy!

MONOCHROMATIC LANDSCAPES

Creating a monochromatic painting can be challenging, but I believe this projects allowed us to achieve successful results.
This lesson allows for a lot of discussion of art terms and concepts such as monochromatic, spatial relationships and the horizon line.  This also gave us a chance to practice and improve our tree drawing skills-no lollipop trees here!





CENTRAL OFFICE ART EXHIBIT: MARCH

Here in Hoover, we thankfully have a large amount of support for the Arts.  Monthly exhibits are displayed at our central office.  Our students' art is seen and appreciated by community stakeholders.
