Grade two, Mrs.Chen's class, is learning about the colour wheel. We used coloured bottles of water to discover primary and secondary colours. Students really liked shaking the bottles of water to reveal what colours were in the bottles. Then, on the back of our sketchbooks, we painted the colour wheel so we wouldn't forget! Some students finished early ad insisted on making another "dot" painting. The first weeks of school we talked about a book called 'The Dot'. In it, a very frustrated girl didn't think she was a great artist, so her art teacher told her just to make a dot. Inspired by this dot, the little girl decided she could make much better dots than this, and made dots in all sorts of ways! The students loved making their own dots and whenever they are finished with their work, they insist on making more dot paintings. Fine by me!!!
I am the art teacher at Shanghai United International School PuDong Campus. I teach art to Grade Three Panda all the way to Grade Eight. I am also the Homeroom teacher for Grade8TB. Lucky them! Some students think I am famous, because everyone knows me at our school. :]
