February 5th

This is artist week at school.  We kicked the week off by learning about what an artist is?  Then we looked through a book called A,B,C's of Art

Georges Seurat is the artist we learned about today.  He created a technique in art called pointillism.  The kids had a lot of fun trying the technique out using their fingers to make dots of different colors inside of a heart.  We provided magnetic mosaic tiles, dot shaped pegs and pegboards, and another magnetic design board that allowed the kids to experiment with different ways to put colors together to create designs!  If your child wants to follow up with this at home here' a great link to a video about pointillism. Artrageous with Nick
