Alphabet Abstract Art

Second grade students studied the graphic and colorful paintings of Stuart Davis.  Working together in pairs and trios, students created alphabet abstract art inspired by his work.  In particular we focused on Davis' painting, Blips and Ifs, 1963

Exploring Line

Beginning of the year included studying the principle of line in art.  Kindergarten and first grade students created line designs using different types of direction (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) and character(curly, wavy, jagged) lines.  Check out their beautiful work!
