First Grade Mandalas

-


First Graders got into Mandalas and the ideas of Global art exchange with amazing energy. They looked at the influence that the Indian Mandala has had on the Art world over many years. They checked out art from around the world, and from current pop culture. Then they set out to create their own. Starting with a circle,  they applied all the things they learned this year about shape, pattern, unity, balance, and line. After adding tooling foil and a faux finish their Mandalas are ready for you to enjoy!

Click here for close ups! First Graders studied the cave paintings found in Lascaux, France, dating back nearly 17,300 years. These paintings are some of the best known surviving Paleolithic Art.

Student Led Studio Sessions

What an awesome day in the Art room at CIPLC! Student Led Conferences were taking place  all across campus, and in the Art room students, parents, grandparents, aunts, and cousins came together  to create. Students in grades 1-6 taught their families one of the skills they had learned or practiced this year. Our grade six artists had their families try out blind contour drawing. Grade five artists were on hand to teach printmaking using styrofoam plates. Recycled paper making was a huge hit with our fourth grade  families and artists. Third grade artists brought Amedeo Modigliani's unique portrait style to life. Paper weaving was the domain of our second grade artists and families, and they  went  all out with  color and pattern. Our first grade artists demonstrated their sewing skills to their families.  The turnout was excellent and the art room was bustling all morning! I can't wait to see how our community continues to come together next year!...
