KEITH HARING SCULPTURES

Fourth graders are big fans of Keith Haring work, so, apart from their paintings they made some sculptures. Here you are some examples.

And, in case you'd like to see, all the photos of the process by clicking HERE.

4th GRADERS' KEITH HARING-INSPIRED LOVE PAINTINGS

During February, love month, fourth graders got inspired by Keith Haring colourful art. We discovered him, some of his paintings and how he often used hearts and showed different types of love in his art.

 In groups, we posed for our partners and we all made our own "loving" art creation.




And below, you can see some of our creations:

LOVELY MONDRIAN

 

During February, as it's Valentine's Day month, we worked on the feeloing of LOVE. Third graders discovered the Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian and his geometric abstraction style using only primary colours.

Apart from discovering a new artist, we learned to make a heart using symmetry, practised drawing parallel and perpendicular lines, coloring, cutting and pasting.

And we also made a big Mondrian-style painting to display our heart creations.

SCULPTURE INTRODUCTION

Hi there! We're Our Art creations are back! 

This year, our school project is about Arts and Emotions, so in our Art lessons we'll try to work on different Arts and what they make us feel. 

We've decided October will be dedicated to the emotion of  FEAR, so we've worked on different Art representations of this feeling.

Sixth graders worked on this feeling through the Art of Sculpture. We chose the Swiss artist Giacometti and his tall and thin creations as an introduction to Sculpture and as a representation of fear. 

To learn about the artist, we used this slideshow:

Giacometti from Neus Marí Tur

We worked with foil paper to make our creatures.

 

 

 We gave each sculpture a personality and are now making presentation for the rest of the class to choose the best character. These are our final creations.

OUR ART FOLDERS COVER

Hi kids! Here you are your Art folders' covers inspired by Matisse's cutouts. The task consisted on designing a collage using: GEOMETRIC SHAPES, ORGANIC SHAPES AND POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SHAPES. It was a little bit messy but SUPER FUN!.

Using this collage as a background we cut the letters of our names and we got these fantastic master pieces!

OUR KLIMT AND KANDINSKY-INSPIRED WORK

After our trees "Klimt style" full of Kandinsky leaves we learned a little bit more about these two authors and decided to do our own version of some of their creations to keep practising on mixing and combining colours, drawing lines and shapes, watercolouring...  Here are some pics of our work, if you'd like to see...// Después de hacer nuestros árboles "Klimt style" llenos de hojas "Kandinsky style", y tras la experiencia descubriendo a Matisse y su arte, decicimos profundizar un poquito más en el trabajo de estos otros dos autores y hacer nuestras propias versiones de alunos de sus cuadros pra seguir aprendiendo sobre cómo combinar colores, trazar líneas, dibujar formas, pintar con acuarela, usar el pincel... Aquí os queda una muestra de nuestro trabajo.

And here's a little video with the whole activity:
