Yesterday I posted my TOS review for Artistic pursuits. The book I reviewed was one of them from the K-3 collection. My daughter is older than that, but she enjoys art, so I really couldn't tell her she couldn't do the projects included. However, I didn't want to give unrealistic expectations of the results to readers of my review. So I told her I would post pictures of her work inspired by the book in a separate post. Since the Virtual Refrigerator falls the day after I posted my review I thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase her work.
These are a couple chenille stem sculptures she made from a lesson studying sculpture. Her sculptures area present and dragonfly.
The first lesson taught the artist to pay attention to things in their world and concluded with their painting a scene they knew with gouache paint. The second lessons project focused on mixing paint colors and making a color wheel. This demonstrated how numerous colors can be made from just three colors.
Another lesson focused on Monet and how he saw things differently depending on the time of day and light. The students were then instructed to paint a series of pictures showing the same object or scene, but at different times or seasons. Here she showed a tree in different seasons.
Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on these. I especially like the Monet inspired series. One of my favorite things to ever see painted was a room by Walter Anderson showing his rendering of sunlight. These reminded me of that.
