December Progress

Happy Holidays and Merry CHRISTmas everyone!  Here is this week's update on what's been happening in the art room. . . .

Thank you to the seventh grade students that made the art room decorations!  All students have enjoyed the festive spirit of the room.



Kindergarten students started creating art for the holiday season by working on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer drawings.




Second graders have been studying a variety of artists over the past month.  This week, students began learning about the Spanish artist, Joan Miro.

Sixth graders have been putting in a TON of work on their book illustrations.  They each selected a fairy tale, and they were tasked with illustrating a major point of the story.  Here are some selections.


Daetyn, Jack and the Beanstalk


Katie, Peter Pan

Seventh and Eighth Grades are just beginning their unit on Surrealist Rooms.  In this unit, they study the art movement called Surrealism, plus they review what they know about one point perspective.  Yesterday we practiced drawing boxes in three dimension in order to activate prior knowledge.
