The Faces Theme:

5th grade

Since 5th grade was actually scheduled for NO ART this year, I begged and wheedled into getting them once a week for half an hour. Little is better than none?

Paper Mache!

After a longer than usual demonstration which everyone put up with admirably, several kids dug into Paper Mache. There was quite a wait for this station and everyone used the materials maturely and correctly. Hooray!





Over in Painting, a few kids started their base sketches for a paiting work and got to know the tempera cakes a little better. There was quite a lot of offended grumbling over the use of "baby paints" but once reassured that grown up paints will come out soon, everyone settled down and got to work. It's always interesting to see a painter come out in a kid. Someone who was running, jumping and poking other kids suddenly becomes a vortex of creative conscience and just PAINTS.

Kinders behaving nicely

Final 7C work

Friendship

This weeks theme was friendship and the new classes jumped right in. Both 7B and 8D are working in the theme and unfortunately altho today was our deadline, neither class is coming to art today because of a half day. So this is what we have on the baord so far:

7th Grade gets Going

4th grade Begins

The Final Advisory ( 4th quarter ) has begun and so 4th grade has started Art. They begin in Drawing and are showing signs of being very talented!
