Quarter 1 Recap

 

This quarter was full of creative endeavors:

-Kinders created Very Hungry Caterpillars, Eric Carle style and made monkey hand prints with amazing backgrounds.

-1st Graders painted Vincent Van Gogh inspired sunflowers and began Piet Mondrain lines. 

-2nd Graders collaged Marc Chagall inspired roosters, and created clay owls. 

-3rd Graders choreographed danging giraffes and began studying the art of maps.

-4th graders layered on the elements of design with landscapes and are now learning the hard task of one-point perspective. 

-5th graders dazzled us with sun designs and are now making art started by words.

Back to the 80's

The 5th Grade Art Club has been busy making props for our "Back to the 80's" Club show. They are making 80's style arcades, boom boxes, Michael Jackson gloves, you name it! They are trying to make all things 80's as authentic as possible. Our show will be in December, more to come! In the meantime stay totally tubular!

Giraffes Can't Dance

3rd graders are having a blast drawing their dancing giraffes inspired by the book:

They are using resources to help them draw, which is their target for the week.
