First Grade art
First grade is a very exciting time in the art room! Students will explore new techniques and further develop skills learned in Kindergarten and learn about the Principles of Design. We will learn about art from different cultures and create art based on different subjects including: landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, portraits and still life. First grade students will have fun making prints, paintings, drawings and sculptures. -Mrs. Benner
Subjects in art
First grade will be learning about different subjects in art this year: Portrait, Still-Life, Landscape, Cityscape and Seascape.
Landscapes
We are beginning by making landscape pictures using mixed media (different art materials). We will look at different landscape paintings by artists. We will also look at how artists use overlapping and different sizes to show how close/far away something is from the viewer. In this piece we will incorporate drawing, painting and resist into this work of art.
STill-life
We will be studying the subject matter of STILL LIFE:
A COLLECTION OF STILL OBJECTS ON A TABLE.
A COLLECTION OF STILL OBJECTS ON A TABLE.
Portraits
We will look at the paintings of Amedeo Modigliani who is famous for his portraits. After discussing how Modigliani makes his portraits different, students will use some of his techniques to create their own portraits.

Seascapes
Students will look at the artwork of Claude Monet as inspiration for their seascapes. We will examine the way the Impressionists painted to capture the feeling of a moment. We discuss horizon, reflection and movement through repetition.

Cityscapes
After looking at various cityscapes and observing the common features found in a city, students will create their own buildings to add to a class cityscape. We will use the medium of collage (cutting and pasting paper) to create individual buildings that were then assembled together to form a city.
