More Samples of Monochromatic Art



by Emma gr 4

I wanted to share with you some samples of the
Monochromatic art pieces that all my students
created in the first weeks of school. 

We have them framed on a simple colored background and put on display in the cafeteria and going up the steps in our main entrance of school.

The monochromatic art pieces are now loaded on our school's page of the Artsonia website. 

Click  here  if you'd like to view them.  Once you are on our school page, there is also an option that you can set it to have the art cycle in a slide show by clicking on that option.

Storing Artwork at School vs. Sending Work Home

Our school very much enjoys participating on the Artsonia website. Since we have been posting children's artwork on-line it is more available for parents to see what their child is doing in art class and they can let other relatives know where to look on the website to see current art projects.
Having the Artsonia website enables me to save up more projects at school. I like to have many options available to me when I am getting ready to hang a show or put up the annual exhibit at our shopping mall. I do keep all 2-D work together at school by homeroom groups. This way I can include a little bit of everything in an art show at the end of the year. Assignments that are 3-D tend to go home shortly after creation or I assign them closer to the scheduled art show.
I have found that photographing the artwork takes minimal time when I lay them on the floor in a line and just shoot the photo while standing. When I photograph ceramics or other sculptural works I set up a backdrop of paper and photo the object from a stool.
Perhaps you would like to see for yourself what the Artsonia website is all about. Click here to see the homepage and you'll be able to check out the work of many students all around the United States and the world. You'll be amazed.
