 Fourth graders worked on making a winter mural of people in motion. They learned all about the joints and bending. Keeping legs and arms, and feet and hands in the correct proportion was tricky. |

Weaving was also one of the skills learned.

In addition, some time was spent on print making. |

First Semester Art
We never outgrow the excitement for painting and during the first quarter the students at Bucknell expressed their creativity with paints. Kindergarten students studied the work of Georgia O'Keefe and then painted their own pictures of flowers.
The first graders learned about the German Expressionist, Franz Marc. He believed that animals achieved a harmony and union with nature better than humans, so he used them as the subject matter of his paintings. Our first graders designed animals and colored them all kinds of different colors.
Below are some examples of animals from our talented first grade students at Bucknell. Can you guess which one was done by Marc?
Roy Lichtenstein was the artist model for the fourth graders. Lichtenstein is one of the best known Pop artists. If you happen to visit the new Sculpture Garden of the National Gallery of Art, look for his sculpture of a house there. The cars, designed by Bucknell's students, uses his method of abstracting something from the environment and making it stand out, in order to identify them in a crowded parking lot.
Below are some examples.
The subject matter of this child's picture certainly is appropriate at this time.
Wherever possible art supports the other curriculum areas.
