First through third grade students have been learning a lot about the colors that surround us and compliment art. First grade students have been learning to identify warm and cool colors.
The first week, students painted a large paper with warm and cool colors. Students had to use warm colors to paint one half of their paper and cool colors to paint the other half. The paintings had to dry for us to use the following week to make our finished art.
Before we began making art, we practiced patterns by looking at examples and talking about them. We know that out patterns not only have to include consistent shape rhythm, but also consistent color rhythms.
After a quick review of patterns, students used their painted warm and cool color paper to create beautiful patterned borders on a black background. Triangles, circles, squares and rectangles were the most popular shapes. However, some students cut out shapes that resembled butterflies or squiggles. Students wrote their name in the center with white crayon.
