Kindergarten Patterns

Kinders learned the definition of a pattern and created several patterned pieces in art class. This specific pattern artwork was created by dipping a small rectangular jar with rubber bands in paint. We created these by saying the words"hit" and "miss" out loud. 

Kindergarten Printmaking Patterns

We learned all about patterns and repeating. Students learned that patterns have a rhythm just like music. In music class we hear a rhythm and in art class we see it! The patterns below were created using recycled containers, rubber bands and paint. 

9-10th Grade Studio Art Printmaking of Community

Prints of Our Community

Studio art students learned about the history of printmaking and were shown different examples of well known printmakers. Students were introduced to the "collagraph," a type of printmaking approach where found objects are glued down to a surface and printed.

Students were required to create 3 final prints, each print was to be an exploration of different artistic mediums including soft pastels and watercolors.

Students used images of the local community for the theme of their prints.
