3rd Grade: Value

3rd Graders learned about the artist, Leonardo Da Vinci, and his painting, Mona Lisa.

Students were able to examine, use, and produce a range of three values in their art.  Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.   Students used what they learned about how Da Vinci used shadows and light to portray realistic images that "seemed to come forward out of the page" when they created their pencils.

Planets

Today, 2nd Graders learned all about the artist Leonardo Da Vinci and how he was influenced by science and nature.   He used what he knew - such as using dark colors to create shade and light colors to show light- to create realistic paintings.

We used this technique of tinting and shading to create spheres.   2nd Graders are studying planets and space and created their own drawing of the planet of their choice.
