WELCOME BACK!

The school year has just begun, but the students have already begun their first project of the year.  I have asked each 2nd -7th grade student to complete one of these sentence starters on a traced drawing of their hand and arm.... Art is, Art can, Art makes me, Without Art,  I am an artist because...They will fill in the remaining background space with their choice of patterns and designs.  Kindergarten and 1st grade traced their hand and arm and will fill them with color.  All of the hands are on display on the wall outside of the art room surrounding these words...Why Teach Art?

Art in the Park session #4- Party Poppers

Art in the Park session #3 -Plate Frisbees

Art in the Park session #2- Kites

Art in the Park session #1- Yarn Bowls

Oooey, gooey, gluey fun!  This is the first of four art in the park sessions.  The wind tried to blow it all away, but the kids toughed it out.  At least the sun was shining!  We covered bowls with Sarah wrap, dipped colored yarn in glue and wrapped the bowl.  We let them dry in the sun, but after an hour they still weren't completely dry.  We will see how they hold up tomorrow.

Stay SmART this summer!

Art in the Park will begin on June 18th from 10-12.  Can't wait??? Try these websites with ideas for projects to do at home!
