Owls, Owls, Owls! During our owl unit we explored all kinds of owls through a guided drawing practice session and by examining numerous photos of owls. we created beautiful drawings using oil pastels and some students had time to make owl puppets. We continued the unit by making clay owls using a pinch pot and and pulling/protuberance technique. we added texture like feathers and other details. After the owls dried they headed over to Fleming school to be fired for the first time in the kiln. Upon their much anticipated return to Summit they were painted with ceramic glaze and prepared for one more journey to the Fleming kiln.
We also worked on a warm and cool water color weaving. We explored water color techniques and limited our color palette as a way to study warm and cool colors. After each student created one warm and cool painting they they chose one to be used as their loom, otherwise known as the warp. We then cut the other painting into strips which were used as the weft to be woven through the loom.
We worked on value study snowmen by adding a shadow to one side of their snowmen and a light source coming from the opposite side.
Like Kindergarten and First grade most students made portfolios to organize their work.
