Welcome to Archway Lincoln Art 2019/20!

-
Hello to all you returning Lincoln families and to all you new Lincoln families. I am so excited for the new school year and to be able to share my love of art with all of your children. I hope you all had a wonderful summer and were able to rest a little. My families summer was a good mix of fun and rest. I was able to take my oldest kiddo to Chicago to look at colleges. A little sad and scary for me but very exciting for her. While we were there, I was able to go to the Art Institute of Chicago. It was amazing. I discovered some really interesting things about my favorite artist Georgia O'Keeffe and was able to see her beautiful Sky Above Clouds and now I'm working on a project that I can do with your first graders.

This is the beginning of my fourth year teaching art at Lincoln and I feel very blessed to be a part of this amazing community. I will do my best to keep you all updated on our class projects and share some pictures through the blog. Our first few weeks of classes will be going through procedures and classroom expectations. And then we will have fun learning about artists, elements of art and getting to use many different mediums (oil pastels are my favorite).

Getting Creative!

Last week we spent some time talking about the rules of the art room and reviewing some concepts. I was really trying to get a feel of where everyone is art wise.  In Kindergarten, we read Harold and The Purple Crayon and drew shape rockets. The kinders did awesome! This week we are drawing spiderwebs and we will get to watercolor them next week. The webs help me to teach direction: horizontal, vertical and diagonal.  In first grade we reviewed lines and created line lions. We made up some fun lines and gave our lions a crazy line mane. This week we are talking about the earliest art that was found in a cave in France. We will talk about how early man did not have a written language and instead of words they used drawings to communicate their daily lives. We will be choosing an animal and we will draw it together as a class. We will then turn out the lights and pretend we are drawing in cave to finish our projects. If you have not sent in an art shirt yet, please do as we will be using

 We have been getting creative and messy in the art room! If you haven't sent in an art shirt for your kiddo make sure you do. In kindergarten, we will be learning about Claude Monet and studying his water lilies. We will be taking our shape knowledge and drawing some lilies. We will then talk about cool colors and finish our pictures. In First grade we will be studying Henri Matisse and The Swan. We will take our knowledge of lines and recreate his etching. We will then talk about cool and warm colors and finish our swan picture. In second grade we will continue with our symmetry understanding and make some vases. We will use the blue willow china patterns as inspiration and we will only being using blue to finish our vases.

Welcome to Mrs. Buehler's Art Room

Hello Archway Lincoln Families! My name is Mrs. Buehler. This will be my fifth year teaching art at Lincoln. I have four children of my own who I have been teaching art to since they were little: Opal (17), Walker (15), Carson (13) and Delilah (11). We have spent the summer tie-dying shirts, bleaching shirts, painting, watching lots of TV, reading, swimming, hiking, fishing and taking care of our animals. I like to refer to myself as a fake farmer. We have lots of chickens, bunnies, two dogs and a pig. I always have a ton of funny stories to share with the kids about life on our farm. I am so grateful to be sharing my love of art with your children. I am very excited to begin teaching art this school year. Although this year is going to look a little different, we are still going to have a lot of fun learning and creating in the art room. I have a lot of fun lessons planned for your scholars to do at home and in school.
