ART CONTEST
WINNERS
With each new artist the students learn about, there comes an art contest for students to showcase what they have learned and to use their skills they are so eager to use!
Claude Monet
Artists will discover the techniques of the Impressionists while learning about the struggle Claude Monet experienced in gaining acceptance in the art world. His beautiful, vibrant use of color was emphasized as the students themselves painted in the Impressionistic style.
Vincent Van Gogh
The life and art of Vincent van Gogh is presented in an assembly to make art history come alive. Voice tapes, music lyrics, and van Gogh dress-up props motivate the children to investigate his artistic genius. In their classroom art activities texture is emphasized as they create their own oil pastel masterpieces of A Starry Night.

Winslow Homer
Homer’s use of value (light and dark) in his masterpieces is explored. Students relive turn-of-the-century Americana through Homer’s illustrations and paintings. Using value with only black, gray and white, the children create a Homer-type composition.
Pablo Picasso
Picasso’s varied styles enable the student artists to see all phases of his artistic life. They will learn to identify Picasso’s different styles, including Cubism. Using a Cubist style, the children drew and created a Cubist composition using and balancing all of the art elements. Your artists will use "chalk staining" to finish their masterpieces.

Mary Cassatt
Mary Cassatt (1844 –1926) Mary Cassatt was an American who traveled to France to study art. It was quite an accomplishment for a woman, and an American at that, to exhibit with the famous Impressionists. She beautifully painted portraits of women and children. Students worked hard to create realisitc hats and impressionist flowers.
Piet Mondrian
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) Piet Mondrian was a Dutch abstract painter, best known for his contributions to the De Stijl art movement and his pioneering work in abstract art. Born in 1872, Mondrian is famous for his grid-like compositions consisting of rectangular shapes, primary colors, and black and white lines. He believed that art should express universal harmony and order, and his works are characterized by their simplicity, geometric precision, and use of color.
