Landscape With A View: Chalk Pastel and Paint
This was a project brought on by a recent artist in residency helping the school with a fundraiser - Martinis and Masterpieces - and art auction organized by the school.
During the residency, the grade 1/2 class collaborated to create this piece of art for the auction:
In the classroom, students made curricular connections to the grade 2 Social Studies: Different Communities. Their personal art was meant to reflect a particular part of Canada (a prairie view, an ocean view or a city view), while echoing the style of art from the large fundraiser piece.
The process included sketching different "views", playing with materials such as chalk pastel, tempera paint and watercolor pencil, brainstorming different views and engaging in a final composition. From an art perspective, students are learning about horizon line as well as foreground, middle ground and background.
The pattern effect is created by using chalk pastel for the big sky, and tempera paint for the view. Students were not allowed to sketch on their final paper, to hopefully get big brush strokes on the land and lots of blending in the sky.
The completed pieces turned out amazing for such young students:
