I have included below some visual art projects that align with your art standards. I will post approximately one new project a week. You don't have to complete them in any certain order, but I would like for you to choose the activities that you would like to do first. If you can, please photograph your artwork and email to [email protected]. I miss your art!
Also, your submissions will be posted in our school Artsonia Gallery! You can order merchandise with your artwork on it or simply just share your artwork with family and friends.
AWE Heart Quilt - You are invited to create a virtual square for our AWE Heart Quilt. You can use ANY material to create the heart. You could create a drawing, painting, sculpture, use natural materials (found objects), toys, recyclable materials, food, literally anything! Place your heart on a background…on paper, the ground, anywhere...snap a picture, and email it to me at [email protected] or send to me through Dojo. I will turn them into a virtual quilt!

Still Life - A still life is an artwork of objects that do not move on their own. Artists may draw a vase with flowers or a bowl of fruit. Check out Still Life with Basket of Fruit . Choose some objects at home (shoes, toys, coffee cup, etc.) to set up and draw (any kind of paper will do). Add color (crayon, markers, pens, paints) and remember to draw the table, wall, or surroundings to fill the paper.
Reflection: Where do you see different values (lights and darks) in your still life? Is any object casting a shadow? What object appears to be the emphasis (main focus) of your drawing, and why? Is it the biggest, in the center, or brightest color? Share your responses with your family and write them down on the back of the drawing.
