Elementary students at DSCS have created some beautiful Valentine themed artworks over the past couple weeks. Check out what each grade did below! Grade K/1 - Tie-Dye HeartsThis is one of my favourite projects to do with this age group because it is incredibly easy and it always turns out fantastic for each kid. All you need is some round coffee filters, washable markers and a spray bottle! It is so fun to watch the excited faces when the colours melt together after spraying each piece. Once they were dry we folded them in half and cut out a heart from the middle. Scroll though the images on the right to see all the different creations! Grade 2/3 - Kandinsky Inspired HeartsStudents looked at circle artwork by the famous Wassily Kandinsky before creating these colourful heart mosaics. They used his work as inspiration for their colour pallet as well as his technique of layering shapes within shapes. I absolutely love how these turned out! Grade 3/4 - LOVE Pop ArtInspired by Robert Indiana's pop art Love sculptures, students created these prints using tempera paint, finger tips, and a limited colour pallet. These were a messy project but I discovered that even fourth graders aren't too old for finger painting! Grade 4/5 - Positive & Negative Space HeartsStudents explored the concept of positive and negative space while creating these wacky artworks. We limited our paper choice to black, pink and red which really allowed their designs to pop!

Beautiful work! Oh my gosh, I love the principles of art that are embedded into the Valentine's Day creations.
