2nd Grade | Paper Pumpkin Sculpture

Emphasis:

Sculpture

We started the year discussing Van Gogh and transitioned into talking about Chihuly who is a famous glass blowing sculptor who emphasizes COLOR in his artwork.  After completing our warm and cool colored landscapes, we made paper pumpkin sculptures in honor of Chihuly!  

Kindergarten | Pumpkins

These kiddos!!! 

So proud of them! 

Theses are kinders my friends!!! 

Check out how they rocked using LINE and free-hand drew theses pumpkins.  

Then, they practiced some color mixing using paint to mix two primary colors to create a secondary color!! 

Ask your kiddos:

- what are the primary colors?

- what happens when I mix them?

- yellow + blue=???

- blue + red=??

- red+yellow=???

I bet they will surprise you with all they know!! 

Coming up in next post- the rocking cutting skills of these kindergarten ART ROCK STARS!! You won't believe yours eyes! 😳👌🏼👍🏼😎

Chihuly

In all grades we have been talking about Chihuly, the famous artist who creates glass sculptures!

He uses a LOT of COLOR!  Especially the PRIMARY colors!

We have been talking about how the primary colors mix to make the secondary colors.

RED, BLUE, and YELLOW are the PRIMARY colors.

They mix to make the secondary colors GREEN, PURPLE, and BLUE.

Kindergarten and first grade created a Chihuly inspired art project using only the primary colors....but when they got wet, THEY MIXED and made the SECONDARY COLORS also!
