For the Parents!

Here's what is happening inside the Art Studio!
from Mr. Clay
Hello Parents,

The scholars have been hard at work here in the art studio.  We have been creative very exciting projects and the students are learning more and more about the wonderful world of art everyday.
Where we've been....
*PS, PK, and Kindergarten have been experimenting with using everday tools as art tools!  We used drinking straws, cups, popsicle sticks, yarn, and so much more to paint with.
*First grade have been working on their Goody, Goody Gumball machine paintings, learning about the works and styles of Wayne Theibald.
*Second grade has just wrapped exploring ancient Egypt, studying the mask of King Tut, and finally created their very own ancient Egyptian self-portrait!
*Third graders are finishing painting their seacape designs, they learned how to create a realistic palm tree, overlapping, and creating backgrounds.
*Fourth grade is putting their finishing touches to their Tessellation designs.  We explored the works of MC Escher.

Where we are going...
Upcoming lessons include seascapes, desertscapes, paintings of germs, Goody, Goody Gumball machines (second and third graders), and exploring the concepts of mixing paints to create tints and shades!

Let's remember to keep up the hard work and take pride in our artwork!
