ART NOTES

Grade 1 and 2 are working on a pop art poster, so everyone can sharpen their painting technique (brushstrokes, paint flow, and blending)

Grade 3 is learning bookbinding and how to show emotions by facial expressions in order to compile a handmade book about themselves. Thank you to everyone who brought in a bottle.  3-13 definitely has enough for all and 3-10 may be short by 1 or 2.  So, if you have some extra please feel free to recycle them with us.  We will be starting our fish sculptures made from recycled bottles and you will be amazed if you have not yet seen them.

4th grade has finished bottle paintings and they are excellent.  We are beginning mythical creature images, based on some of our favorite medieval imaginary beasts and done in pastel.

6th grade is finished with their art cycle. They were an enthusiastic bunch and on the whole did a great job.  Their snowflake sculptures will be on display in the annex through February and you will the rest of their work in our school art show in the spring.

 
 8th grade is starting art cycle.  We have a lot planned and want to get started.  Please see that the students purchase a calligraphy marker. I shoud be either 2.00 or medium tip. Also i have aproject in mind that would require a roll of clear packaging tape. Staples has them for $2.00 . So I am asking the students to bring them in.  They can go in with another student oon the roll of tape.Please see that they come prepared with the calligraphy pen by next week.
