6th Grade – Expl. |
We just finished our drawing and painting unit. The students did an excellent job. Look for these projects to come home soon. A few pieces will be displayed in the school and will be returned at the end of the trimester. We are starting tissue paper fish kites today. The kites will be finished by the end of next week. Watch for a colorful display of fish in the coming weeks. Parents, thank you for the prompt payment of art fees, all students have paid their fees! |
|
Art 1 |
Art 1 students finished their drawing unit last week. We worked with a variety of drawing mediums discovering drawing techniques and the creation of form shadow and highlights with each new medium. Grades are in IC and most work will be coming home as it was handed back to students last Friday. A few pieces are on display in the building. Periods 3 & 6 - We have just finished a clay project and will be glazing our pieces in a couple of weeks. While our clay is drying and being fired we will be working on paper mache birds. Two very fun projects! Both projects will be finished by the middle of October. Period 5 - We have been working on the paper mache bird project for the past week and will start the clay project in October. We will finish both projects by mid October. |

3-D Crafts |
Students just finished their Japanese inspired lacquer vases. We had a critique on Monday in which all students shared and commented on their projects. They did an excellent job and were proud of their work. These will be on display and will come home in a few weeks. We are starting on small wooden chairs today. Always a favorite project! |
