Abintra Art - Week 20 (2012 - 2013 School Year)

ECA received a group lesson with Dave about the origin of snowflakes. Then they reviewed the colors of the crystals and observed which colors they could see in a snowflake. Patricia then presented a cutting exercise lesson, taking a piece of paper (square) and folding into 4. Then she proceeded to make the cuts. When she finished,  Patricia opened the paper and they could see the snowflake!! They loved the activity and worked on it for three weeks every day!



ECB’s printmaking work was created using a stamp made by wrapping strings around a circular container.

ECC students continue to work with primary colors. They select pieces of string, dip them in paint and place them onto paper to create pieces of art. They have been amazed to see what happens when primary colors mix together. It has also been fun to explore other techniques of painting besides the typical paintbrush.



To align with their study of land and water forms, LE created paper mache globes.  After their globes dried, they drew the continents and painted in the land and water forms.



ME created these print paintings influenced by a previous project called Rivers, Roads and Rails, a series of connectable drawings in pencil.  The rivers and roads divided their pages into fields, playgrounds, neighborhoods and so on.  For these paintings they drew lines to divide space and stamped with sponges, pencils, cardboard and straws.



UE finished their one-point perspective drawings.

After looking at Edvard Munch's famous painting, The Scream, the Aftercare Art students created artwork using a photograph of their own choice of expression.
