During October and November Student's at Memorial school have been busy looking at the beautiful art from Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Armenia, Turkey, Somalia, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh and India. Our school has students who have cultural heritages from these countries. These students shared their knowledge and experiences from these cultures with their classmates.
Following sharing time, the class created an art project inspired by a country of this region of the world.

2nd Grade Playing with Shapes

This month students at Memorial school are learning about  Shape as an Element of Art.  Artist in the second grade discovered many ways a square could be folded to make different shapes. They then folded 12 squares the same way. Once papers were folded, the children had an opportunity to "play around" with their new folded shapes to create a unique shape design. Once arrangement were made that the artist liked, they  glued their folded squares on paper. As a class we also discussed how repetition of a same shape can make an artist' work looking interesting. 

                       

                                                                             

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year!

This year in art, Memorial students will be learning all about the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. Once students learn about an Element of Art or Principle of Design, they will apply their knowledge to create an original piece of Art. This month we are focusing on Line.
