'Tis the Season for Rewards Day!

This week, all classes have had the opportunity to experience the Art Room Rewards Day! This day is something that the classes have earned throughout the year by working hard and staying on task! Rewards Day is a great day to celebrate arts and crafts and participate in things we don't always get to do in the art room. Students have been having fun using materials such as Model Magic and scratch art as well as making bubble prints and ugly holiday sweaters! Wishing you all the happiest of holidays and a relaxing winter break!

Hot and Cold Colored Lions with Kindergarten

Kindergarten students have been working on lions inspired by the book, "Library Lion." We created lions together and then completed the lion by choosing a color family of either hot ( red, orange, yellow) or cold ( blue, green, violet). Each lion is completely unique and shows such beautiful control of the crayon media. Way to go, Kinder friends!

Mondrian-Inspired Collages with Grade One

First grade students have been learning about the artist, Piet Mondrian and his abstract style of painting using the primary colors. To create a piece in his style, students are using the collage technique of gluing cut paper. Students have just begun their collages and will continue to work next week to fill up their space and complete their work with black lines very similar to Mondrian.
