SECOND 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 Drawing by Jonathan

Second Grade artists captured a scene for their heart designs. Using pencil to first draw their picture, they colored their hearts completely, giving equal importance to the subject and the background.

These hearts look like windows that open onto a scene. Alexa's heart shows us part of a still life with a beautiful vase. We can just imagine the lovely bouquet of flowers hidden from our view! Crystal and Lyla's heart shaped frames focuses on yet another window with a tiny, perfect landscape. And Jonathan's window reveals a rainbow. Wouldn't we all love to see that outside our windows?

    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.
