Students are starting work on their Dot Day project. This year our focus is on collaboration! All grades are creating a one color (monochromatic) painting. We discussed how artists are similar to chefs...a chef needs to mix up all the ingredients to make their delicious creations. Instead of butter and flour -an artists ingredients are the elements of art! We started with color and then sprinkled in a little value (lights and darks) to spice up our paintings and make our art more interesting. We listened to songs about color and value and learned how to blend our colors to create a gradient! Stay tuned for the next step!
