Grade 2 Visual Arts eLearning Dear Students and Parents,

Please complete these visual arts lessons over the course of the next six weeks and turn them in as noted in each lesson. Assignments will be submitted via e-mail to [email protected]. Please be sure to include the student’s first and last name and their homebase teacher’s name in the subject line of the e-mail. Assignments submitted without names will not be graded.

Week 3: Learn about Still Lifes Week 4: Create a Still Life Week 5: Learn about Landscapes Week 6: Create a Landscape Week 7: Learn about Genre (depicts everyday life) Week 8: Create a Genre ASSIGNMENT TO TURN IN

You may find that you want or need to extend or change the project to suit your specific needs and situation. For example, if you do not have the materials suggested, please solve this problem creatively. What materials do you have that could work instead of the suggested ones? How will this change the project? Will the project be better, more unique, or have different qualities. I hope so! I’m hoping that these projects will be challenging and will incite creativity and curiosity.

There are two pages of student resources to be used with each pair of lessons (3-4, 5-6, 7-8) in this series. It will be helpful for an adult to read and review this information with students during each of the” Learn about” lessons (Week 3, 5, and 7).

If you find you have extra time, consider some of the following art activities to spark your creativity:

Projects: Design and create a game and play it with your family. Make a collage using old magazines. Create a sculpture out of recycled materials and found objects. Write and illustrate a story, poem, or comic strip/book. Design a treehouse or fort. Design shoes, hats, and clothing. Make observational drawings of the things around you. Create a visual journal that contains mostly pictures and a few words.

Please let me know via e-mail if you have any questions.

I look forward to seeing you when we return to school.

Sincerely,

Caroline Carson Caroline Carson Art Teacher, Rosewood Elementary School [email protected]

Student Resource for Weeks 3 and 4: Learn about Still Lifes

Many artists draw or paint still lifes. A still life (plural: still lifes) is a work of art depicting mostly

non-living subject matter. Most of the time the objects are commonplace objects which are

either natural (food, flowers, plants, rocks, shells, etc.) or man-made (drinking glasses, books,

vases, jewelry, coins, etc.). Here are a few still lifes for you to study. Look at the pictures and

discuss the questions in bold, blue print with an adult.

Laurie Breen is a contemporary artist. That means she is still

alive and painting today. This is her still life titled, Oranges

and Lemons. Lauri abstracts (or simplifies) her subject

matter and uses mostly primary colors. Look carefully at

the painting.

.

Henri Matisse painted this still life. He used everyday objects, bold

colors, and patterns. It is called, The Goldfish.

This is a still life by Roy Litchenstein. It is

called, Still Life with Palette. This style of art is

called Pop Art. Pop doesn’t stand for soda

pop, it stands for popular. Roy used

references to popular culture in his art. He

used stencils to make his work look like it was

printed with a machine like newspapers and

comic books were printed

DISCUSS THESE QUESTIONS WHILE STUDYING THE ARTWORK ABOVE:

What is the subject matter? What objects do you see?

What colors, lines, and patterns do you see?

What media (materials like paint, pencil and clay) were used?

What techniques (i.e. painting, drawing, and collage) were used?

What is the mood of the painting, how does this still life make you feel?

Student Resource for Weeks 3 and 4: Learn about Still Lifes

Artists create still lifes in different ways. They use different media (materials) and they use

different techniques (the way the media is used). Here are a few examples.

Contour Line Drawing with Pen or Pencil Collage with Printed Papers

Realistic Pencil Drawing with a Birds-eye-view (seen from above) Colored Pencils with Reflective Objects

Photograph with a Worms-eye-view (seen from below) Oil Painting (seen from the side)


Look at each work of art and read each caption. How do you think each piece of art

was made?

What is the subject matter of each image? What objects are in each image?

Two still lifes are show from different points of view (worm’s and bird’s). How does this

change the still life? What would it look like if it was not shown from this point of view?

Which still life is your favorite? Why do you like this one?

Which still life is your least favorite? Why do you like this one least?

What objects would you want to include in a still life? Why would you include these

objects? Would the objects have special meaning to you?

Student Resource for Weeks 7 and 8: Learn about Genre (the art of everyday life events)

genre means two different things. Genre can mean type of – for example, type of literature

can also mean art depicting everyday events and occurrences (dancing, studying, cooking,

reading, playing basketball, etc.). So, we will be studying the genre of genre. Confusing, right?
