Fourth Grade Art

We have had a fabulous start to the school year in the Lower School art room. The fourth grade artists are engaging in exciting activities in preparation for their upcoming shore trip. We are focusing on observational drawing and started the year by carefully drawing seashells. The fourth graders added watercolor paint to their drawings, learning four different watercolor techniques, which they will utilize in their shore trip paintings.

 
 
We also practiced painting outside, en plein air, one afternoon by taking the opportunity to draw and paint trees on campus after learning about the wonderful tree tagging project that is taking place here at AFS! The fourth graders will continue to explore the rich connections between art and science throughout the school year.
