Shen's 2015 Art Show!


Congratulations to all of the creative, talented students who were chosen for the art show this year! If you were not able to attend, here is Tesago's wonderful work.  Enjoy!






Walkabout Displays



If you weren't able to attend the Walkabout/ Ice Cream Social, here is some wonderful art work, created by all grade levels, that was on display in the art room!

                                                                2nd grade chair sculptures
                                                         4th grade ocean silhouette paintings
                                                                   5th grade name designs
                                                             1st grade castle paintings
                                                      3rd grade cupcake still life drawings


1st Grade Zebra Fever!

 These adorable zebras are based on the artwork of Eric Carle.  Students looked at some of his work, discussed how he painted paper first, and then got to work on 2 striped paintings.  Collage came next, with students cutting and gluing appropriate shapes.  Rounding the corners of the rectangular paper was difficult for some, but was good practice.  Details came last; the kids LOVED using yarn for the mane and tail!  I got many compliments when these were hung up in the hallway; they just make me happy, because they are so cute!  Next year I will connect these zebras with fruit stripe gum!
