FIRST GRADE Hearts

We HEART art! This is our collaborative art project that all artists in the Lower School are taking part in. Our squares and heart designs will come together as a large mural later this fall. From the sweetest Beginner designs to the amazing and intricate patterns of a 5th grade artist, Ranney School has heart!

Heart Design by Sadie

Heart Design by Elijah

Heart Design by Camilla

First Grade artists focused on patterns for their hearts. A pattern is anything that repeats. It could be lines as we see in the colorful stripes of Sadie's beautiful heart. It could be shapes as Elijah did with his rows of intricate triangles. His alternating color sequence creates a very striking pattern.

Heart Design by William

Camilla's turquoise and purple stars form a hidden pattern under a wonderful abstract line design that connects all the stars. William shows us that a pattern can be made up of anything. His number sequence creates a perfect pattern!

    In my class, students are given the chance to explore different materials and fun new techniques as they develop their signature style. Some young artists love to draw with a pencil, some like to paint on canvas or create images in a digital format, while others prefer working with clay and molding three-dimensional forms. In my classroom, we use a variety of materials allowing all artists to experiment and figure out which type of art they like the best. At Ranney School, we place a strong emphasis on originality and celebrate artistic differences, always nurturing and encouraging the imagination of every student.
