SUMMARY OF LEARNING By Callie Molina

STUDIO ONE- KINDERGARTEN

We selected the primary colors from a large box of oil pastels. We described a room from home and then we used shapes to draw that place in our home. We made the room in all primary colors and imagined what it would be like if the room was only red, yellow, and blue.

STUDIO TWO-FIRST GRADE

We drew our family in oil pastel, and then created an oil pastel resist by mixing a secondary color: orange, green or violet, and washed watercolor over the drawing.

STUDIO THREE- SECOND GRADE

We focused on a familiar story (or an imaginary story inspired by the art we have looked at). We chose to illustrate a beginning, middle, or end event from that story. We used collage techniques to cut and glue paper shapes representing characters, setting, and story objects. We placed one figure or object close and one figure or object far away by choosing sizes for the objects: large for close and small for far away.

STUDIO FOUR- THIRD GRADE

We thought about our descriptive words and then drew a sketch of our invented character using those words to help us come up with lines and shapes to describe them. We referenced our sketch of our invented character in developing a final portrait: We made a monotype print or an oil pastel portrait of our character.
