My Project

These supplies will help every student in our school make numerous art projects. including participating in our school Black History Month Art Show in February. We will also use these supplies to learn about all of the elements of art such as line, shape, and color. We learn about many different colors groups, mixing colors and making colors wheels creatively when we do our color unit. Our shape projects turn us in to architects by using lots of different shapes to create buildings and cities as well as animals and 3-D creations. Texture, value, space and form are also elements that we learn about in art class and with these supplies, students will be able to create colorful pieces of art that will last a lifetime!
