Here’s a summer art choice board for some art inspiration!
A color wheel shows how to mix colors to make new colors. Can you find the primary and secondary colors on the color wheel?
Colors can be grouped together in color families, like primary and secondary. Color families help create a mood, or feeling, in artwork.
What are the color families shown in these artworks? How will they inspire you?
Who takes care of artwork? What happens if an artwork gets damaged? A conservator takes care of artwork and tries to return art to its original state.
Art can show us many different things, what art is about is called subject matter. There are three types of subject matter: landscape, portrait, still life.
Landscape- shows land, nature, or an outside space
Portrait- shows a person or group of people.
Still life- shows objects that do not move. They are still.
What will your artwork be about: landscape, portrait, or still life?

Russian artist, Natalia Goncharova, painted what she thought space looked like. She used a lot of brown, gray, white, and black in her artworks. Those are the neutral colors.
Your turn…Steps:
Landscapes are artworks that show mostly land outside. What do you see in this winter landscape? What do you see outside in the winter time?
There are three primary colors: red, yellow, blue. These colors can be mixed to make many different colors. What colors do you see them mixing to create?

Welcome back, Sharks! I am so happy to see you in the art room this year. We are able to use our art centers, which will include: drawing, collage, painting, fiber arts, sculpture, clay, and architecture.
