The fourth grade students have been learning about cave art and symbols. They began by decorating their cave walls while groups of three came up to smash the paint pigments with a large stone, just like the cave men used to do! The next week we went inside our dark caves to use our special paint...

The fifth graders learned about Helen Cordero and the storytellers of the Cochiti Pueblo. They created a storyteller sculpture of their own!

The third graders have been learning about architecture and three-dimensional geometric shapes. They combined this knowledge to create these beautiful 3D houses!

2nd Grade students have been learning about curved and zig-zag lines. They used their knowledge of these lines to create beautiful three-dimentional playgrounds out of construction paper and glue! Great Work Kids!

3rd grade students learned about Art in other cultures and created wonderful Mexican Sombreros!

3rd Grade students learned about the artist Vincent van Gogh by reading a story about him. We discussed how his artwork has real texture because of all the paint he uses. Then, they discussed the foreground, middle ground, and background in a work of art.

2nd Grade created secondary colors by mixing the primary colors of play-dough! They then used all the colors to create their very own bugs!

The 5th graders learned about the Native-Americans in the Cochiti Pueblo and the Artist Helen Cordero who lives there. She and other artists create storyteller sculptures. The 5th graders created a storyteller sculpture of their own!

The 2nd grade has been learning about zig-zag and curved lines. They created these 3D line sculptures using construction paper!

These are some 2nd grade students hard at work creating a Marc Chagall-like piece of art! I can create a work of art using the colors of the color wheel.

Second Grade students mixed primary colored homemade play dough to create their secondary colors. After mixing, the students created play dough bugs by using all six of their primary and secondary colors.

4th grade students created rose windows, like those found in Gothic cathedrals, to demonstrate radial balance. We discussed radial balance, rose window designs, and their symbolism. Standards: 25A.7a Describe the use of radial balance in a 2D work of art 26B.
