This week, we took to the art internet to find the latest trend of art-making in quarantine for this choice-board project for students to explore creativity with materials and settings around them. Here were the results. Drawings & Paintings: Looking outside, inside, and in our imagination. Selfies: Capturing the objects and things that supported us through distance-learning & quarantine Memes: Using humor, images, and text to tell stories and jokes about our quarantine experience, including some imagery from throughout art history.
Our students requested a chance to break out their drawing skills and work on making their drawings more realistic. So this past week our students learned about shape, form, and shading. We talked about how we can make a 2D drawing and create the illusion of extra dimensions using just our pencil, blending, and lines. We also talked about artists M.C. Escher and Tracy Lee Strum, and watched some other awesome artists tutorials on YouTube and TikTok. The resulting work turned out awesome!
This past week, students built up their digital literacy skills by learning about being responsible digital citizens and artists online, and learning more about Public Service Announcements. Students studied how artists and other create and share messages online and how to distinguish between ads and PSAs. Then students took to their own homes, neighborhoods, and digital spaces to share positive messages of hope and health during Covid-19. Check out their messages above!
