Miss Miller's Art Class

Quarter one has been filled with creativity, student choice making, and artistic exploration. I hope the kids are having as much fun as I am. 🤪

If you would like to meet for conferences, please email me to schedule a time, or you can stop by on any of the conference nights to chat (or just say hi!). 😃

Quarter 1 Summary by Grade

Kindergarten

It has been a lot of fun to meet the kindergarten crew over the past few weeks. It always amazes me how much progress they make so quickly. Students started out with "Line Monsters," moved to "Color Mixing Pumpkins," and finished the quarter with "Poppies" inspired by the artist Georgia O'Keefe just in time for Veteran's Day.

1st Grade

First grade students started the year off learning about color as they created "Color Wheel Lions." Their second project was inspired by the artist Paul Klee. Students learned about abstract art and made silly, abstract cats. Since then, we have been working on our "Ceramic Pumpkin Plates." 1st graders used clay to make small, ceramic texture bowls which they painted. Starting off second quarter, we are working on pattern hearts for Veteran's Day.

2nd Grade

Second graders have been working hard and getting art DONE! We started out learning about the color wheel and designed bird families. Then, students got into the art of printmaking as they designed their own fish for a tie dye printmaking project. Our spooky October project were "Mummy Eyes" which were a hit!

3rd Grade

Third graders have been getting technical with their art. They started the year with a fun "Optical Illusion Drip Art Heart." Then, they created their own design during our printmaking lesson using markers and styrofoam. We are finishing up learning about portraiture as we work on our "Veteran's Day Soldier" lesson.

4th Grade

What I LOVE about fourth grade is that they have artistic energy...well they just have a lot of energy in general, too. 😊 Students are so authentic, unique, and creative while really starting to hone in and work on their technical craft. Our first project were "Lava Lamps," with a marbled background using shaving cream. Next, students designed "Dragon Eyes" as we discussed size and scale. They look great! Right now, we are putting the final touches on our "Zentangle Hands."
