Good morning, superb artists!! Wow, I cannot believe it is just about the end of May. Speaking of the end of May, we would normally be having our Riley Multicultural Family Night soon. This would be an event where we learn about different cultures, especially the different cultures in our school. With this in mind, the art project today is to draw a flag. Please choose a flag from a country that has meaning to you and your family.
Please work big, and make the flag fill your paper. Please first use pencil, next trace with pen or marker, then add the correct colors, and finally, label your flag. Please do your best work, and have fun! Take your time, and we will work on this next week, as well.
Here are some illustrations of flags from around the world…

Hello, awesome kindergarten artists and parents!! Today we are going to make a project called "Snakes in the Grass".
We are going to do "weaving"! Weaving is all about making the "under and over" pattern. Strips of paper take turns starting either “under” or “over” the base piece of paper.

Hello amazing Riley students and parents! Because the weather is nice, let’s go outside to create! Today we are talking about a type of art called Land Art. One famous Land Artist is Andy Goldsworthy.
Andy Goldsworthy is a British artist known for creating pieces of art out of natural materials and the passage of time. Working as both sculptor and photographer, Goldsworthy uses rocks, ice, leaves, branches, or petals. He knows that his pieces will change over time. “It's not about art,” he has explained. “It's just about life and the need to understand that a lot of things in life do not last.”
Andy Goldsworthy was born July 25, 1956, he is 63 years old. He lives and works in Scotland. He is still making art.
Please look at these photos below to see some of his work...

Now, let's make our own Andy Goldsworthy style art. You can work in your own yard, or maybe you can go to a park or school with your parent. Begin by gathering things that you find on the ground. I tried not to pick living things (but I did pick dandelions). As you gather things, you can put them in piles. There is no right or wrong to how much you gather. When you like the amount of things you have, you can arrange them. I chose to make a circle pattern, but you can do whatever you want. Please see the photos below for my example. I hope you try it! Have fun!

Have fun!
