3rd grade artists recently studied two artists, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. We began by reading this funny book that puts a slightly humorous spin on the artists' friendship and rivalry.
With Picasso we focused on cubism. Cubism is a 20th century style of art that features, many geometric shapes and the simultaneous presentation of multiple points of view. 3rd grade artists tried a quick drawing of their favorite animal incorporating some of the cubist style.

3rd grade artists also learned about Henri Matisse. We looked at his cut paper collages. He called the method "drawing with scissors". Although it was challenging not to use a pencil and to use only scissors to create shapes and figures, the artists were very successful!

3rd grade artists were inspired by a Nigerian folktale called Why the Sky is So Far Away. They created these masks to personify the character of the sky. First, we talked about the many different colors and characteristics of the sky and students used watercolor paints to create a "practice sky". Then we examined a variety of African masks as we discussed pattern and composition. Finally students used recycled cardboard shapes, tempera paints, oil pastels, foam, foil, beads and pipe cleaners to create their amazing finished masks.
Next up was the "Impossible Jar" project. Students were asked to think of something that could not possibly be placed into a jar, due to it's size, and then squeeze it in one anyway! They created humorous paintings using watercolor colored pencils. "Thank You" to my dear friend, and fellow art teacher, Renae Neumeyer for the inspiration for this project. I am lucky to have many close friends who are art teachers in Pennsylvania and New York and we often share ideas!
