Odysee Portrait Boxes

These portrait boxes were created by the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students in Odysee Art. They learned how to draw a proportionate face before doing their own self portrait in pencil and oil pastel on watercolor paper. Found items from home and the art room were used to decorate the boxes in a way that reflected the student's personality and interests.

Warhol Projects

First grade hands in the style of Andy Warhol!

Fourth grade students also studied Andy Warhol, using styrofoam to create prints of famous people and other pop culture icons. Above we have popular WWE wrester Rey Mysterio!

Spongebob!

Pikachu!

Harry Potter!

Fifth Grade Update

In fifth grade we studied Keith Haring, an artist who got his start doing chalk drawings in the subways of New York City. He drew simplified figures and symbols in bright colors that showed motion.

We reinforced our knowledge of Keith Haring by doing our own chalk drawings in his style outside!

Fourth Grade Pop Art Products

Fourth grade students chose a product package to draw from Ms. Baker's Mini Mart. After their drawings were completed, they were painted with one being in realistic colors, and the other in crazy colors. We were studying the famous Pop Artist, Andy Warhol, who is most famous for his paintings and silkscreens of soup cans.

Wayne Thiebaud

Second and third grade students learned about the Pop Artist, Wayne Thiebaud. Second graders focused on his gumball paintings, while the third graders looked at his cakes. Both grades learned how to draw three dimensional looking cakes, and how to draw layered cakes.

Cake stands were added for an extra lesson on symmetry.

First Grade Update

First grade students painted mixed up flags in the style of Pop Artist, Jasper Johns. Happy 78th Birthday today, Jasper!

Kindergarten Update

We created these colorful butterfly prints by folding painted paper in half to create symmetrically balanced wings.

We also made these step by step drawings of flowers, grass, and ladybugs using many different lines: zig zag, curved lines, nail lines, etc.

Kindergarten students recently had some messy fun creating bubble print backgrounds for their underwater fish pictures.
