Chinese New Year Year of the Rooster Scrolls
Students learned about the history, traditions and culture associated with
Chinese New Year. We also learned about the legend or story about the Chinese
Zodiac. Each calendar year is represented by one of twelve animals from the
story. 2017 is represented by the rooster!
We illustrated our own roosters and added a
variety of colored papers for the feathers. We learned how to write “Happy New
Year” in Chinese, and stamped our scroll with a chop- or special artist stamp.
Finally, we reviewed line vocabulary (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) as we
stamped a gold pattern on the edges of our scroll.
Claude Monet Inspired Watercolor Crayon Resist Nature Paintings
Identity Collage Self Portraits
1st grade artists created these photographed portraits after
analyzing the use of emotion and expression in portraiture. We cut away our
photographed clothing to add our own clothing inspired by our favorite colors,
patterns or imagery. To create our stacked food turbans inspired by Carmen
Miranda, we worked on our observational drawing skills. With various fruit on
table tops, students observed shapes, lines and colors to draw their own.
Students then selected their favorite food to draw to incorporate into their
stacked food hat and embellished with additional media.
