Hello SJV families!  While we're learning from home, grades 4-8th should check their Art Google Classroom page for assignments and communication.  Grades 1 - 3 can check here for updates.  

Kindergarten:

Hello Kindergarten families!  We don't technically have class this week, but I'm posting a video just in case you're still looking for some art.  This is totally optional, but if you want we're making a bunny with a rainbow background! Follow along with my video!  https://youtu.be/tcU8IwsRr9s

Happy Easter, friends!
 

Grade 1:

I've sent an email invitation to join Class Dojo!  This will be a better way for us to communicate, as well as provide a better platform for instructions and to turn in work.  Please help your student set up a student account in class.

I look forward to seeing everybody there! 

Grade 2:

All email invitations for ClassDojo have now gone out- Check your spam folder if you don't see yours. =)  I will post new project instruction here, as well as have folders for students to turn their work in.  Please help your artist get set up with a student account.

Grade 3:

All email invitations for Class Dojo have now gone out!  Please check your spam folder if you haven't received yours. =)  Class Dojo will be where I post further project instructions, as well as where students will turn in their completed art.  Please help your student set up their student account.  

After spending time learning about Picasso (Remember “When Pigasso Met Mootisse”?), we know his style pretty well.  While we’re home, use this sheet and dice to create your own Picasso portrait.  The first roll of the dice will give you the face shape.  The next will give you an eye.  If you would like to, you can roll two times for two different eyes!  Roll again for a nose, and one more time for the mouth.  You can add hair, ears, jewelry- whatever kind of details you want for your person. 
 
If you have crayons, markers, or other coloring supplies, please color your Picasso portrait!  You can do realistic colors or bright colors- you choose. 
 
If you don’t have dice at home, you can choose your pieces or find a creative way to get a number 1-6. 
 
Take your time with this and be careful with your lines.  Use a dark color to trace over your lines before you add color.  Most importantly, have some fun with this. 
 
I can’t wait to see your Picasso drawings when we come back! 

Welcome to Art!  

My name is Ms. Holbrook and I am excited to continue exploring the world of art with the students of SJV!  In Art class, we will dive into the Elements and Principles of Art and art history.  While we are learning and practicing our craft, we will also work on developing something called the “Studio Habits of Mind.”  These skills, such as persistence, observation, reflection, will translate to all areas of our education.  It may look like we're just playing with paint, paper, and clay but we're developing habits that will stick with us for life!
