Welcome to the 2016-2017 School Year! 

I am looking forward to seeing all of my Art Students this year and can't wait to see what they are inspired to create.

The Dot

One of your very first projects in Kindergarten and 1st grade is to create an artwork inspired by a picture book written and illustrated by Peter Reynolds about a girl named Vashti who thinks she can't draw. Students were encouraged to make their mark and see where it takes them. I think most of the kids were so excited to paint they did not want to stop :-)

Tis the season for Pumpkins 

Kindergarten is working on drawing and painting techniques while practicing fine motor skills, like tracing and cutting out shapes. We start by tracing a pumpkin stencil with crayon, paint the pumpkin with tempera paint, and then cutting out the pumpkin and gluing it on a black piece of paper. TA-DA!

First Grade Spider Web

1st graders have had a lot of fun using rulers to draw. They are learning about types of lines and line direction. They then use this knowledge to create spider webs and spiders using Elmer's glue and glitter.

Fancy Owls

2nd graders have been hard at work in the art room. They recently completed their Fancy Owl paintings and boy did they learn a lot! The concepts covered in this project were line, shape, color and pattern. We also talked about the art element of space (foreground, middle ground and background).
