Weeks 1 & 2

I apologize for not posting last week. Before I knew it, the week had passed and another day of co-op had arrived!
Last week we discussed what we thought art might be and Teacher Melissa posted pictures of various art throughout history on the walls for everyone to look at. Many of the images the students recognized, others they didn't. Most of them were able to point out at least one that they liked. We also made our portfolios to store the art projects that will be created throughout the semester.

Here are a few that were either recognized or just liked because they were neat.

Coliseum, Rome

Gargoyles, Notre Dame de Paris, France

Leonardo: Mona Lisa

Munch: The Scream

Fragonard: The Swing

Waterhouse: Tristan and Isolde

This week was the beginning our journey of art through time! Teacher Cindy taught us about cavemen, how their artwork was created and then we made our own cave paintings! The artistic ability of the students is amazing and so much fun to see the wide range of imagination! It was so much fun blowing paint onto the paper with straws to make shape of hands on the paper!
