The ten photos below show artwork created by students at Citta Elementary School.
Art students in third grade learned how to mix the secondary colors when creating their minibooks about the elements of art. They mixed red and yellow to make orange; red and blue to make violet; and yellow and blue to make green. The students used the concept of color when creating these gods eyes or ojos de dios.
Each student wrapped specific colors of yarn around two sticks when creating two gods eyes. For the first gods eye, students were asked to select two primary colors and the secondary color they create. Can you find gods eyes that show you how to mix orange, violet, or green? For the second gods eye, students were asked to look at the color wheel and select three colors that form a triad. They used either red, blue, and yellow or green, orange, and violet. Can you find 4 gods eyes that have these colors?
Also in May, third grade students learned about value, one of the seven elements of art. First they practiced making tints and shades. On one page of their mini book, they painted two tints of a color by adding different amounts of white to a color. They also painted two shades of a color by mixing different amounts of black into their color. Next, students divided a a larger piece of paper into four areas. They wrote their names in bubble letters. Then they worked in groups mixing two more tints and two more shades of a color.
Students painted the spaces on their paper from left to right using the lightest value first and the darkest value last. Then they painted the letters of their name working from right to left using the lightest value first and the darkest value last. The finished paintings were displayed in the hallway for everyone to enjoy.
First grade students made three-dimensional tissue flowers during one lesson. The next week they created a card that featured a drawing of their face and tracings of their hands.
The hands were glued so that they created a space where the flower stems could be inserted. This made it look as if the person on the card was actually holding the flowers. Students wrote messages inside the card and presented the cards on Mother's Day to their mothers, aunts, grandmothers, or other important women in their lives.
Third grade students used markers to create patterns of lines and shapes on four white strips of paper. They twisted, turned, and overlapped the strips while stapling them to a colored piece of paper. The three-dimensional paper sculptures were displayed in the hallway for everyone to see and enjoy.
