Here is an update of what students at Archway Chandler and Archway Lincoln have been learning & doing at the start of the new quarter:
Kindergarten-Students were introduced to the element of shape and hunted for shapes in their classrooms. We learned about the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee and studied his painting Castle and Sun. Students were guided on how to complete their own Klee-inspired painting by drawing a castle and using horizontal and vertical lines to create shapes throughout. Color was added with crayon and the sky was painted with watercolor, to create a resist effect.
1st Grade-Students reviewed the elements of line, color, and shape as they studied various paintings by Piet Mondrian. We observed that Mondrian only used horizontal and vertical lines (no diagonal lines) in his paintings, and the palette he used mainly consisted of Primary Colors. Using a square template, 1st Grade students traced overlapping squares all over a piece of paper with a black crayon. Then, using red, blue, and yellow crayons, they colored in only full squares and rectangles.
