Conn's fourth grade students had the chance to meet author/illustrator Mike Artell during an author visit last year. This year, we used his book Awesome Alphabets to help us learn how to do block lettering with flair. Students learned about how to use space well, make letters follow a path, and keep lettering size consistent. They also learned how to have fun with lettering styles and color schemes and how to create imaginative things within their letters. Next time your child has to create a poster, he/she should be able to do amazing things with lettering design!
For the first time, art students are now using Edmodo, a safe, educational setting for sharing art with each other and creating digital portfolios. Ask your student to show you his/her Edmodo page from home!
We are gearing up for our first quarter Art History focus Area-Arts Greatest Hits Vol. 2. We will be studying Modern Art with an emphasis on abstraction.
