Hello First Graders!! Our first project was making a landscape with ourselves in it. We learned the easy way to draw a person...ALL out of SHAPES we know! In first grade, one project we will be doing is a self-portrait, which is a picture you do of yourself. We will learn the correct way to use scissors to cut paper and create a collage. A collage is a combination of paper, gluing, drawing and/ or any other combination of art techniques to make a picture. We will also learn the correct way to use our glue bottles and the right amounts to put on whatever you are gluing! First grade will also be learning about Pablo Picasso...We will look at his painting "The Three Musicians" and make shapes collages of musicians and their instruments. First grade will learning the warm and cool colors of the color wheel by painting with different lines and patterns. Then we are taking all our paintings and collaging them into our dream houses with all the details!
