Second grade students read Dr. Seuss’ book My Many Colored Days. This book focuses on color and its relationship with emotions. Together we talked about our emotions and how each one feels. We talked about how colors can make us feel.
Students chose an emotion to represent in colors like the artist Mark Rothko did in his Abstract Expressionist paintings. Using chalk pastels students created color blocks representing their chosen feeling. On Arts' and Technology night you can scan the QR code on the artwork with your smart device to hear each artist personally read to you all their rich, detailed, and expressive color imagery. We're learning all about the color wheel's primary, secondary, tertiary, warm and cool colors. We made our own color wheels. Then we mixed together one primary and one secondary to make tertiary colors on the front. After, we added white to make tints of the colors on the back of our wheels.
We're making fish out of clay! We are using many tools to press into our clay piece. This creates a variety of textures and designs.
