Presentation Transcript

  1. Third and Fourth Grade students viewed the artwork of Folk Artist, Howard Finster. They created their own artwork expressing themselves in the style of Finster.

  2. ARTISTS IN ACTION

  3. Third grade students were studying plants in Science. In art we looked at the work of artist Georgia O’Keefe. We noticed she painted her flowers enlarged. She painted them this way because she wanted the people of New York to have to stop and look at the beauty of a flower. It is hard not to notice the beauty of these third graders wonderful paintings.

  5. Cara, 3rd grade, Ms. Davis, Statham Elementary

  6. Cathryn, 3rd grade, Ms. Davis, Statham Elementary

  7. Fifth Grade students used math to create their artwork. They were all given a set of seven directions to follow. When finished we shared how each piece of art looked completely different from one another's, even though we had the same directions. They completed their artwork by adding painting. Very creative minds!

  8. Fourth and Fifth grade students studied how lines can show movement. They were introduced to Clipper ships and their use for travel and trade. Their drawings show how these magnificent ships sailed the seas. Justice Hamilton, Statham Elementary Ashlee Smith, 5th Grade, Ms. Windham, Statham Elementary
