Quarter 3

-
Quarter 3 tends to be the busiest time in the art room. We have so many projects going on in each class. Everyone seems to be comfortable trying new media and new projects. Most everyone is comfortable in the art room and using supplies and cleaning up.

In Kindergarten we have been studying Picasso and his line animals. We have been drawing and have just started painting our Doves of Peace. We will be moving on to american symbols and we will be drawing the statue of liberty. Another fun painting project.

In First Grade we have been studying Cezanne's Apples and Oranges. Turning simple shapes into everyday objects. We have been drawing a fancy bowl and adding our apples and oranges. We are painting with tempera and water color and will be finishing the project with oil pastels. We will next be talking about some of Monet's paintings and recreating a landscape using soft pastels.

In Second Grade we are starting our Starry Starry Night. We are breaking it into three sections: background, middle ground and fore ground. We are currently working hard on our backgrounds using oil pastels. They are looking lovely. After Van Gogh, we will look at Hokusai's Great Wave.

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

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.
