As a kick off to this year, students were asked to work as a group to create a monster sculpture out of mostly recycled materials! They focused on collaboration, cooperation and compromise. The students had a blast! Check out their work:

Choice-Based Art Projects: The child is the artist. This is his/her studio
As a final project for term 1, students lead their learning by designing a work of art themselves! This is a truly authentic experience, relying more in the value in the artistic process than in the finished product. Check out some fine examples below.

Grade 6: Owl Study- Creating Texture using Drawing Media
Students in Ms. Stewart’s Class used a choice of drawing media to complete this assignment. The objective was to create implied texture by experimenting with mark-making using drawing media. I love the variety to the approach and to the personalities of these owl portraits. The following gallery shows some of the finished pieces.

Monster Art!
3rd graders in Mrs. Medugno’s class had so much fun experimenting with construction paper crayons on black paper while drawing silly monsters! This “make and take” activity was a great reward for their hard work on previous assignments!! Check out their awesome monster creations!

Celebrating Dot Day!
After reading Peter Reynold’s book, The Dot, students worked on an original work of art for our “Dot Day” display. Students were able to use materials from the drawing center, collage center or painting center to design their piece. They were also able to add some materials from the fibers center. Once complete, they were able to select activities from the Dot Day menu board to keep the fun and creativity flowing!

What is Art?
As students are easing into the routine of being back in school, we paused to think a bit about what art means to us? Why do people make art? What does art do for you? We then wrote our responses to “What is Art?” These responses are greeting you as you enter our school. Please take a moment to check it out.
