Our Current Projects

 
 4th Graders are creating space collages! They painted sheets of paper with various colors and added texture using different objects.  After creating this paper and a dark background, they are now in the process of collaging the paper to create the planets and other details. They are also learning about how to create an interesting composition. 

3rd Graders are in the process of creating a Greco-Roman town.  They are working collaboratively to create one artwork showing a variety of buildings and details with the style of architecture from Greece and Rome.


2nd Graders are in the process of creating a Native American parfleche, or "pouch".  They prepared brown paper bags to resemble rawhide by crumpling them and then we ironed the paper.  Now the students are drawing and painting their designs.  Next week we will add beads, feathers, and tie the pouch together using string.

 1st Graders are finishing their "Wild Things Collage."  They are creating this artwork based on the book Where the Wild Things Are.  Students have created their own wild thing and drawn it's habitat.
 

Kindergartners are creating a winter landscape and learning about the artist Grandma Moses.  They used two shades of blue to paint their creative sky.  They are now creating artistic evergreen trees, using a variety of shapes and lines.

Pre-K has completed their shape paintings.  The first day we learned about painting procedures and painted a variety of shapes.  The next day we drew shapes and lines on top of the painting.
