2nd grade art

How adorable are these?!? This lesson took (2) art classes to finish (and I had JUST enough time to squeeze in one more lesson before the end of the year)! It’s a simple one —but packs in a bunch! …

The 2nd Grade students studied the artist Vincent Van Gogh and his artwork. We also read the book, Camille and the Sunflowers. The students were able to create a giant sunflower creating emphasis in their artwork. Then they were shown how to blend colors using oil pastels. The students had to choose a cool color for their background to make their sunflower "pop" in their piece of art.

2nd Grade Art Lessons – Art with Mrs Filmore

My second graders recently learned about simple ways to show depth in an artwork. I gave a demonstration on my new document camera and showed them how rivers and roads that go back in space would be wider in the front and narrower in the back. I demonstrated how things that were far in the distance would be smaller than things in the front. The use of overlap is also a way to show depth. I showed the students this … Read more... →

2nd Grade Matisse Goldfish Paintings For the past couple of art classes, 2nd grade has been learning about the artist Henri Matisse, and his painting, The Goldfish. The students first practiced drawing 3-dimensional looking containers, and practiced drawing the goldfish bowl, that they liked best.

The school year is winding down for me (I only will see each group of students 3 more times) and that time will go quickly. So as the end of the year goes by I try to keep projects as a two day lesson because with end of year field trips, field days, and assemblies there will be several groups that will miss. Here's a Wayne Thiebaud lesson that most students were able to finish in two classes. I did a Theibaud lesson last year with 4th graders and really loved the results as far the variety…
