"That
is amazing!" is what I heard this morning from a student at school.
He was referring to the student art work hanging on the library windows.
When I told him they (the students) only used primary colors, he was even more amazed.
He absolutely made my day and I had to share this news with my students.
Their efforts really are paying off. I'm driving them nuts I'm sure, but it's paying off :).
These
students viewed different types of fonts either using the internet for
resource. This can also be found on our class designed
Pinterest in which students can have access by scanning the QR code
created directing them straight to the website or by using 1 of 2
computers in class. Or if they preferred, they could use a hard copy
for different fonts. They ALWAYS have the choice of designing a font from imagination.
We
discussed the Principle of Art: Variety and they began to draw a contour
drawing of the letters in their name demonstrating a variety of
sizes, we studied the Element of Art: Color by completing a color wheel in
color pencils using just the primary colors.
We
went back to the art work and applied all 12 colors made by the 3 primary
colors. This time students applied color pencils and crayons to their
work. In the process they applied the Element of Art: Values. A
loooong project due to the Thanksgiving break and another 2 days the
school was closed due to the weather (ice and North Tx. don't mix). The
students and their teacher, we're ready to finish!
