FOURTH 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!

Abstract Heart by Ava-Joyce

4th Grader artists at Ranney School continue to experiment with abstract design. These hearts show off their ability to work with color, line and shape to create a pure abstract composition that is pleasing to the eye, yet interesting enough to hold our interest.

Many of the designs involved using a ruler and dividing the heart into different angles. How they treated those sections and lines with color shows off the difference in each student's approach to designing. No two are alike, yet all are wonderful.

The painted backgrounds act as a frame for the abstract design, allowing the colors stand out and the hearts to shine.

    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.
