First-Grade Artists Design Self-Portraits, Sketchbook Covers, and More

Ramaz News

The Lower School is jumping into the new school year with Art Room musical chairs and a monochromatic self-portrait collaborative mural! First graders will each be assigned a color, which they will use to complete a self-portrait in any style they wish. These portraits will be collected over the next few weeks and displayed together on the third floor, in the order of the rainbow. Next, first graders will dive into designing sketchbook covers! Students will look at artist sketchbooks and discuss why artists use them. They will be challenged to write their name in bubble or block letters on the cover, paying special attention to drawing patterns. They will use these sketchbooks all school year as a place to explore and expand their drawing interests and unique artistic voices. The students cannot wait to see how they fill their books up!
