Hello Div. 5!
Have you checked out the weekly Zoom and Team Meeting schedule on the Teams general page yet? Here’s the schedule for next week! Note Monday is a holiday and our Class Meeting has moved to Tuesday at 11! There’s also one read aloud scheduled for Thursday! Today there is read aloud as well at 10:15 if you are interested!
Today, we are going to start an exploration of a famous artist, Georgia O’Keeffe.
- First, I’d like you to watch this video of Carley reading My Name is Georgia: A Portrait by Jeanette Winter.
- Next, watch a minute or two of videos showing the perspectives that Georgia’s art seem to be focusing on.
- Third check out some more of Georgia’s flower art!
- Finally, try to create some of your own art!
Creating art in the style of Georgia O’Keefe:
- Either find a photo online, or take your own photo of a flower (or choose one of her paintings to re-create)
- Zoom waaaay in (bug’s eye view!) to find the subject for your art. If you took a photo, you can literally zoom in. If you have an image, you can frame it, like this image from “The Helpful Art Teacher”
- Don’t include the stems or background in your art
- Try to make sure the petals of the flower touch many edges
- Draw in pencil first! Then colour with the medium of your choice (pencil crayon, pastel, water colour, paint)
Here are a few directed art videos, in case you want a little more support:
We have a letter writing activity for you that you can find on the Teams assignment page. It is titled “Literacy – Email Letter Writing.”
Additionally your second Mindfulness Journal is posted on Teams as well!
Remember to find balance in the activities you do. Complete what works for your family! I hope you all have a lovely long weekend!!!
