After looking at examples from various artists and talking about similarities and differences that each piece had, we began creating our own. Here are some examples of our Optical Illusion artworks using lines and colors:

Third Grade Op-Art
During this last week in the Art room, before we switch back over to computers, students are using the remaining days working on some fun and interesting art techniques. In third grade, we have looked at Optical Illusions and what different variations there are. We focused on ways in which artists can use a simple pattern of lines and colors to give the illusion of distance.

First Grade Picasso Portraits
In first grade we are just finishing discussing Pablo Picasso and how he created his artwork using cubism. We viewed as a group a lot of Picasso's paintings and discussed how he used shapes within each image to help create the subject.
We also reviewed the warm and cool colors, which all of my groups this year ROCKED! All the hard work and focus in Kindergarten is really paying off with their recall.
We took the idea of Picasso's paintings and how they utilized cubism to create our own portraits. Within each portrait, students were asked to divide the space into shapes as well as the background. We used crayons to color in and a felt tip marker for outlining when we finished coloring. Here are some of our final products:

Fifth Grade Romero Britto Drawings
We are back in the art room for our third quarter! This year we are rotating between computers and art, it has been fun and interesting for everyone! For our first project of the quarter, fifth graders are exploring the artwork of Romero Britto. They really enjoy the bright colors that are seen within most of the artworks Britto creates, they were also intrigued as to why some appeared to be a little duller than others.
While looking at Britto's work, we discussed the ways in which he uses Cubism as well as Patterns. Some of the works we viewed the colors and patterns made it difficult to see the subject of the work right away-while others the subject was easily seen.
The design challenge presented to students was to create their own artwork that has inspiration drawn from Britto's style. Here are some of the solutions that students came up with:
