Welcome back to Art! 3rd, 4th and 5th grade artists are currently working on story-telling with their Artwork. They are drawing their favorite memory from this past summer, using George Seurat's paintings "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte" and "Bathing at Asnieres" as inspiration. We talked about how Seurat's paintings were, at first, considered offensive because they showed common people doing common things--like swimming in a river and laying on a beach.
Seurat created a sense of depth in his paintings by establishing a very clear foreground, middle ground and background. We are doing the same thing with our drawings by drawing the foreground objects very large, the middle ground is drawn medium-sized and the back ground details are drawn very small. We finished our drawings in marker and colored pencil.
