Upper School Drawing: Still Life Drawings

Show and tell Art in Kindergarten

Art Activities Scrap Show and Tell – After choosing a theme, Kindergarten artists had to create something to go along with the theme (i.e. “Monsters) using scrap construction paper, scissors, tape, and markers. After they finished making their creation, students took turns sharing and listening.

Day of the Dead Calaveras – As a seasonal celebration of the Latin American holiday, The Day of the Dead, Kindergarten made calavera (skull) masks using plaster tape and decorated them with bright colors and vibrant patterns using paint, gems, and sequins. Gyotaku Fish Prints – To begin their unit on printmaking, Kindergarteners made drawings and fish printing plates inspired by the traditional style of Japanese fishermen, gyotaku (“fish rubbing”). Next, they will create beautiful marbleized paper—the Japanese art of suminagashi or “floating ink” to print their fish on.

House Olympic House Art Challenges

House As Home and House Tower Challenge

As part of the Upper School annual House Olympics student teams were asked to create an art  work(s) that shows the evolution and variety of human structures, while communicating the constants that define a home (without the use of words). Other teams undertook the challenge of designing a proposed tower that celebrates the pride and glory of their GA House (Think Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Tower of London, Watts Tower in LA…)
