Summer is here! In June, we studied art and learned the names of famous paintings and artists. Some of the famous artists we studied were Pablo Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci, Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, among many others. We also learned about colors, for example which ones are primary, secondary or tertiary colors and how to mix primary colors to make new colors.
We played with paint to discover what colors we could make using just the primary colors, red, blue and yellow. It was really fun!
Then we took a field trip to the Pohang Art Museum on June 24th. We saw many interesting paintings and sculptures, many of which were related with children's stories. There was also a fun place to sit and look at books about art. Unfortunately it was a rainy day, but we had fun having a picnic in our classroom after our trip.
On June 1st we celebrated Kyle's 5th birthday. He showed us his photos and we all wished him a happy birthday.
The 15th was Chloe's 6th birthday. Unfortunately she was sick that day, but we had a fun party for her on the 23rd with yummy cake!
And the 20th was Aiden's 5th birthday. We were excited to celebrate with him and see all his photos!
Miss Stephanie showed us how to make Korean pickles with onion and green peppers. We watched how she made the sauce to pickle them in and we got to help with cutting the onions (but sometimes they made us cry a little!)
We did a lot of art this month with Miss Maura and with our art teacher Miss Sunny. Since we were learning about art, it was a good chance to learn to draw by copying the artists we studied. Miss Maura showed us how to draw a picture of Sam the cat by Andy Warhol, a portrait of Pablo Picasso and we also made portraits of our friends and self portraits.
We're all looking forward to another fun month in July!
