3rd grade Entertainment Design Monsters

3rd graders have been studying the art career of entertainment design. We looked at many familiar creative works in popular culture. One that we had fun checking out was the movie "Monsters." We created our own monster designs on toilet papers rolls - another form of "junk art!"

1st Grade Lorax

1st graders are thinking about the types of professions that someone could be if they were to become an artist. We discussed fashion designer, fine artist, architect and an entertainment designer. We looked at the book and movie of the Lorax and thought about how the artist had to think through every visual part of each scene. We created our own Loraxes using pipe cleaners, markers, paint, tissue paper and oil pastels!

2nd grade CD Aliens

2nd graders have been recycling junk materials to create new masterpieces with their CD Aliens. We looked at how entertainment designers of science fiction movies and cartoons have to really use their imaginations and creativity to create aliens and monsters. We watched a clip from the movie "Monsters Inc." that really showed a variety of creatures. We then used CDs for the heads of our own creative Aliens!
