Abstract Paintings using Line, Color, Shape, and Pattern

2^nd graders learned about the Elements of Art: Line, Shape, and Color, along with the Principle of Art: Pattern. They used Line, Color, and Pattern in their abstract paintings. Then they cut apart their painting and rearranged the Shapes to create more lines with the black of the paper behind it!

Task Party!

On the first day of art class, students had a Task Party where they each got a different task that they had to do in order to create their art portfolio. The tasks varied from "combine two animals into a new hybrid animal" to acting and doing performance art for their peers. Students enjoyed creating and innovating, thinking flexibly, and persevering to complete their creative tasks.

Students really enjoyed the Task Party and I found it worked very well to accommodate the different speeds at which students work. Some students completed one task in the time others completed three. We will definitely have another Task Party this year!

WOW! What an amazing project. The tunnel looks amazing and it something we can enjoy for many years to come. Many people worked together to make it happen including ADAMH of Franklin County, the Dublin Arts Council, ALTernative, the City of Dublin, and of course Bailey Elementary School from Dublin City Schools! I love our community.
