Middle School Artists and soon all CIPLC Artists will be working in the Art room to meet CIPLC’s make a change (M.A.C.) goal. Students have been saving used paper all year, and are now going through the process of turning it into new, usable paper. The prints on display are printed on paper made by the artist.    
Middle School Artists choose between lino-cut and scratch foam printing techniques, and then went on a hunt for inspiration. They found inspiration from nature, musicians and online sources. They turned their inspiration into an image, and printed it on their handmade paper. It was a long and laborious process, and their results demonstrate great effort and hard work!                
Art Objectives:
·                     I understand how art contributes to self-expression.
·                     I can use a variety of media, innovative combinations, and subjects.
Language Objectives:
·                     I can generate and apply criteria to evaluate and critique the merit and significance of works of art.
·                      I can use the vocabulary of art to describe, explain, and classify the information in works of art.

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. The first graders took a virtual tour of the cave, and looked for clues about the artists. In the caves they saw bison, deer, birds, cats and people. The first graders focused on the following objectives: ·     I know all cultures make art. ·     I can use blending to make value. ·     I can use Art words to talk about my choices.

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!...
