As we’ve entered the Fall season, St. Stan's wanted to share the incredible artwork created by its students as part of the school's extensive art program.
Our Pre-K through 3rd grade students were busy working on a project called Fall Collages where they are learning to identify and differentiate colors such as primary vs. secondary colors and warm vs. cool colors.
For 4th and 5th grades students, were focused on symmetrical balancing of an image or object that is mirrored to create two images, allowing them to understand how two images can harmonize each other.
Our 6th to 8th graders have just finished working on a project themed Peace Windows. Students were challenged to discover ways to create visual symbols that look like stained glass. They learned about contrast, overlapping, direction, space, and balance. Now, they are doing still life paintings using oil pastel and watercolors inspired by Van Gogh’s Sunflower painting.
St. Stanislaus Kostka School is an amazing place where children in preschool through 8th grade grow in faith and knowledge. Located in the West Town community in Chicago, St. Stan’s is a Catholic school where teaching and learning is collaborative, creative, passionate, and joyful. Our students grow to be readers, writers, thinkers, and leaders of the 21st century.
