Fox Masks<\/h4>\n

I’m very happy with Division 3’s fox masks! Everyone did a great job and worked really hard to do their best work. While the construction of the mask using a template and cereal boxes was a bit challenging, everyone managed to complete the construction and move on into the papier mache step. After 2-3 coats, students completed the final steps by painting with acrylic. Job well done!<\/p>\n

I did one too!<\/h4>\n

______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

We\u2019re ready for the next stage of our mask making!! Tomorrow we will begin to paper mache our masks. That means we will need newspaper for making strips. If you could send any extra newspaper to school tomorrow, that would be great. Also helpful, would be plastic containers with lids (for wet paper mache storage). If you have any larger containers that can be loaned for your child\u2019s use at school, that would be helpful.<\/p>\n

Paper mache can be very messy and requires great patience. Students should come to school with a smock or large button-up shirt (think ratty old plaid) that can be used like a paint smock.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To view our process, please check the\u00a0link.<\/a>\u00a0We are using the template from this\u00a0Ultimate Paper Mache<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Starry Night<\/h4>\n

This term we are studying the life and art of Vincent van Gogh<\/strong>. Today, students began the sketch work of their first piece, using inspiration from Van Gogh’s Starry Night. I was so impressed with the level of interest and concentration applied to their work. Take a look at some of the beautiful samples of today’s work. I was very happy with the outcome!<\/p>\n

To see individual pieces up close, click on the picture. Well done, Division 3!!<\/p>\n

Next, we will begin to paint! <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Van Gogh\u2019s paintings are filled with colour, swirling images, and intense feelings. He is known for his rich in colour contrasts and impasto painting technique.<\/p>\n

We have been learning about his use of impasto<\/em>, as well as his use of hatch strokes and the rolling, pulsing motions of his paintbrush. Van Gogh would stroke the paint on the canvas with a knife or brush – almost like working with clay \u2013 the paint strokes forming marks with textures. We will be using coffee stir sticks (or thick stiff brushes) for that part! We added corn starch to our paint to make it thick and more clay-like, looking for that rough finished texture.<\/p>\n

One way that van Gogh showed motion in his work was to make lines of colour spreading out into the background, swirling in concentric rings or circles. His paintings show rings of light surrounding stars in a nighttime sky or radiation on a hot summer day. The paint looks like ripples made when a stone is tossed into a still puddle.<\/p>\n

I’m excited to get to this next part!! (Next week). Stay tuned…<\/p>\n

Still Life<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In this art project, students practiced four different forms of media-art for Still Life, which can be described as, \u201c\u2026<\/em>a painting or drawing of an arrangement of objects, typically including fruit and flowers and objects contrasting with these in texture, such as bowls and glassware\u201d. <\/em>(Oxford Dictionary)<\/p>\n

Students chose four objects to sketch, then later divided their work into four sections in order to highlight the different media used to portray their work. They sketched with shading and used oil pastel, water colour and mosaic to add colour to their art.<\/p>\n
