5th grade friends are creating sculptures this morning. Love the way our champs help each other!
Los amigos de 5to grado están creando esculturas esta mañana. ¡Me encanta la forma en que nuestros campeones se ayudan entre sí!

Some charming transportation collages by my @Ridgeway_WP first grade artists! We reviewed geometric shapes, and had a lot of scissor practice cutting and assembling shapes to form images of different vehicles 🚗 🛵🛳️

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

I love when an artist’s personality and mood shines through their artwork. Check out these @postroadschool second grade self portraits

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

Nothing sweeter than opening up the kiln to a sea of beautiful @Ridgeway_WP first grade pinch pots 🫶 these artists did such a great job glazing- look at those colors !!!! 🌈

+ some more & a peak into their process! In layer 1, they created an under painting of their foreground, mid, and background by painting tints and shades to show value. Then they used chalk pastel techniques to emphasize a mood in their artwork with color 🎨🖼️

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

Chalk pastel landscapes by @postroadschool fifth grade artists ✨ they’ve worked so hard over the past few weeks- exploring and refining chalk pastel techniques + learning about the formal and conceptual elements of landscape drawing and painting. 👏

@kefitzgibbon Great observation 👏 👏 👏 art is everywhere

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

And they’re done 👏 proud of my third grade artists for the hard work they’ve put in over the last few weeks- drawing 3D buildings, learning how to create a relief print, as well as adding to and modifying their prints

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

The fluctuating weather has been inspiring in 3rd grade art! Students chose a special building 🏡 for their printmaking project. After reading a poem&talking about weather, times of day&seasons changing- they began adding details to their prints! Check out these works in progress

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

I love how these second grade moody self portraits look side by side! Opposite emotions, and coordinating colors 👏

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

@Ridgeway_WP 3rd gr artists chose a place that feels like home to them or designed a home of their own! After learning how to draw 3D shapes, they drew their special place and created a printmaking plate! Check out their first round of prints. More details to come

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

How can you take a flat paper and turn it into a 3D sculpture? 4th grade artists at @postroadschool are using some collaborative STEAM techniques before they apply their knowledge to their own personal paper sculptures.

Some bright and beautiful abstract chalk pastel explorations by my @postroadschool fifth graders. I’m so impressed by their ability to control this messy medium, and their willingness to explore its potential! 🌈

Emotion self portraits by @Ridgeway_WP 2nd grade artists 🌧️“Once you know how you are feeling right now, just let it be… just as it is…; there is no need to feel or do anything differently. You cannot change the weather outside either, can you?” -Elaine Snell

[Ms. Julianne Farella @MsFarella]

Had a wonderful and informative day at #WCALA ! Looking forward to trying some of these new art making techniques with my students. 👏

[Post Road School @postroadschool]
