Art Class in December

First graders and fifth grade art students are finishing up projects that feature symbols, including symbols of the USA.

All students worked hard on clay projects.  Please help your youngsters brainstorm how to bring home a clay project that is beautiful but breakable.  I suggest bringing a shoebox with a lid to school so we can wrap it up carefully.  The learning goals with clay include understanding that handmade artifacts can break.  Sometimes we just have to make another one.  We will do our best!


Third and fourth grade art students are also working on landscape or sky scape paintings.  Second graders are creating faux buffalo skin art.  Kindergarten art students are working on a Picasso style paint and collage project.  We will have lots to show in a few weeks!
