About this School Project (2nd Grade Owls in Different Styles)
2nd grade artists are working toward Ohio Visual Art Goal: 2.3PR Produce works that intentionally incorporate the elements of art. They really focused on looking for lines, shapes, and space (3 of the elements of art) when looking at an owl drawing and creating their own. Students then looked at the expressive animal paintings of South Korean Artist Jun Yang who uses a lot of neon colors when painting animals! He says mixing colors reflects his feelings and his life experiences! 2nd grade artists thought about what art style they wanted to use when adding color and other details. How artists choose and use the elements of art can create a specific artistic style! Some students wanted to choose realistic colors while others wanted a more expressive style. Other 2nd gr. artists wanted to create an abstract background similar to the style of artist Alma Thomas! Ask your artist what style they chose! Why did they choose that style?
Students gave and received feedback and really brainstormed how they could show their best art skills. Your student may have a 2nd photo of their artwork showing their commitment to reflection and the art process!
Students were working toward the following Ohio Visual Art Standard:
2.1RE Compare works of art using descriptive language.
2.2RE Use self-assessment strategies with current artworks to inform future artmaking.
2.2CR Combine materials to explore personal artistic ideas.
