Secondary Colors

We had fun this week in art class by doing an experiment with cups of colored water mixing two primary colors together and making a secondary color. After the experiment students mixed colors by themselves and were so excited mixing blue and yellow, blue and red and red and yellow and finding out what color they make. After all the mixing :) they painted cute birds and then embellished their pictures with feathers, eyes, leaves...

Level 11

Level 7 and 8 drawing their hand

Learning about primary colors is one of the building blocks of understanding and creating art. In this project, students explored primary colors through creating a picture of their hand and analyzed the color choices used in their art work.

Level 7 and 8 learned that primary colors cannot be made from other colors.  Artists create all the other colors of the rainbow by mixing together the primary colors. This is a great lesson for students to see that they can create a beautiful artwork just by using three colors.

Playground design

As part of our "Line" lesson, students from Level 6 designed their own playground and it was fun seeing how with only twisting, rolling, twirling and curling the paper stripes they created these amazing designs. Thanks Ms Louise for sharing the idea about art project!

Primary colors

Preschool students were so excited to mix colors and paint an ice cream of 'different flavors' in art class. They learned about the primary colors and the colors you can get by mixing two of them. Each student chose two primary colors to mix and tested the result in their picture. Adorable!

"Beautiful Oops" to start the new school year

A new amazing, artistic school year just started! I am so excited for having a new art room and  the students are enjoining the big spacious classroom as well. I know that this year again my talented students as always will create projects that are meaningful and artworks they can be proud of! 


We started out with this empowering and inspirational book "Beautiful Oops!". When you THINK you have made a mistake (and what kid or grown-up hasn't) Think of it as an opportunity to make something beautiful.  "A life lesson that all parents want their children to learn: It's OK to make a mistake. In fact, hooray for mistakes! A mistake is an adventure in creativity, a portal of discovery. A spill doesn't ruin a drawing,not when it becomes the shape of a goofy animal. And an accidental tear in your paper? Don't be upset about it when you can turn it into the roaring mouth of an alligator."

Every student received a paper with a tear, smudge, coffee spill, paint drip and many other "mistakes" I prepared for them before class. They were challenged to turn those mistakes into an artwork. I was amazed by their creativity and problem solving skills. Just look at their creative solutions:

Mosaic

Middle school students and few high schools students during art class are working on a mosaic using broken bathroom

tiles to embellish the water taps bought from the student council. This is how it looks, and it's only the beginning. These hard-working young artists are always motivated to put extra effort in order to beautify the school campus.
