March
Welcome back from vacation! Please come see some of the new art work on display in the halls. The 4/5 and 5 students finished their Memory Collages based on their studies of Romare Bearden's work and the 2 and 1/2 students are showing off their Baby Cradles that we created after investigating Gustav Klimt's use of pattern and texture. Coming up this month, we will focus on design and architecture in the art room! The older students will be working on designing a word that reflects its meaning- not as easy as you'd think! The smaller children will study local architecture and create their own fantasy buildings and the kindergarten children will eventually construct wooden structures based on their knowledge of design. Third and Fourth graders are learning about slab construction and the kiln is ready to be fired! SO we'll be able to fire all the great work! If anyone has old newspapers or old towels we could sure use them in the artroom for table covers and working with clay and also for clean up! Thank you for all your support!
