1st grade 3D From Pigs

1st graders have been studying the art elements that make good art effective. In this project, they looked at how artists use value to make something light or dark. They used crayons to create dark green by pushing hard and light green by pushing lightly. Then, we took note of the differences between form and shape. Form being 3D and Shape only 2D. We had a blast making these little piggies out of model magic. We even mixed our own tint by coloring red marker onto white clay to make pink!
