OUR FIRST PROJECT OF 2010-2011The fourth grade students will begin with the artist Andrew Wyeth who was a resident of Pennsylvania and Maine. He was born in Chadds Ford, PA in 1917 and he died in 2009. His paintings were realistic in style and often evoked a feeling of loneliness and longing. Using egg tempera as his medium and mostly earth tones in his colors, he achieved very sharp contrasts in his paintings as well as extreme detail.
The students will be using scratch art to create a highly detailed drawing of fall weeds. We will concentrate on using lines to create textures in our artwork.
