Kindergarten will paint designs on canvas using acrylic paint. Kindergarten students will use acrylic paint to create six designs based on a variety of animals painted by an abstract expressionist painter, Franz Marc (horses, deer, dog, cat, and a jumping cow). Since this is a major anniversary year, I thought it would be nice to revisit some of the artwork/artists we have explored in the past.
First Grade will paint ceramic glaze to small pieces of clay tiles to create mosaics based on optical illusions and geometric shapes.
For the first time ever, Second Grade will not create designs on linoleum floor mats. This year Second Grade classes and I to explore the unique art material of ceramic glaze on glass and the technique of glass fusing. I have recently discovered this unique technique of fusing/melting ceramic glaze into glass. Second Grade and I will use ceramic glaze to paint our version of a variety of famous impressionistic works onto glass. I will then use fusing techniques to fuse/melt the painting into the glass. It will be similar to stain/painted glass. We will recreate 6 famous works created by a variety of impressionists and post-impressionists artists such as; Renior, Degas, Monet, and Van Gogh).
Third Grade students will paint designs using ceramic glaze onto a variety of bisque ware (a 4 piece canister set; Frankenstein cookie jar and mug; Santa cookie jar and gingerbread man dish; 3 LEGO blocks/banks and two LEGO heads/jars with lids; Hawaii theme drink set includes a 1 tiki, 2 coconuts, and 1 pineapple; African animal sculpture set - includes an elephant, rhinoceros, and giraffe; a large platter).
As a bonus/grand finally piece(s), each 3rd Grade class will create a 12" glass bowl designs using glass fusing techniques.
