First grade began their pigs-piration this week for the Big Pig Gig! The students also heard Olivia Meets Olivia the first day, as I felt this book was a great starting point for them as well. The theme of the pig sculpture will be "This Little Piggy Went Around the World" so what better way to job their art minds than to have them paint pigs and create a scene showing where their pig is! The first grade students saw how simple circles, triangles, ovals and rectangles can form a pig and they drew these with a Sharpie on their paper and painted them various shades of pink. The second day, the students heard Olivia and the Rain Dance and began to think about what they would want their pig to do, where it would be and who or what would be in their artwork. Their background is created of cut paper and all is placed on a beautiful piece of scrapbook paper which contains color, shape, line and patterns to add to the collage/mixed media assignment! All of the pigs turned out wonderful and the students added oil pastel details to their pigs and a pipecleaner curly tail!
