In September, I found out that two of my students that submitted their Audubon Inspired Bird Drawings to the Taking Flight: Youth Art Exhibit at the Museum of American Bird Art were selected to have their drawings in the exhibit. Their artwork was on display from November 2018 - March 2019. Below is the students with their artwork that was on display.
This year all the Specials teachers have recess enrichments. I have been offering seasonal arts and crafts, which has been a lot of fun.
I planned a field trip with the 4th grade team to take the 4th graders to Magic Wings, where students completed field sketches of the butterflies. we then used the field sketches to create oil pastel close up drawings of the butterfly.
Fifth grade learned about color theory and different color schemes. They created paintings that sampled four different color schemes. They made one drawing that they transferred to a large square paper four times. Lasatly, each section was painted with a different color scheme.
Sixth grade students carved their own printmaking blocks. Then created test prints and finally created small editions of final prints. This project was a challenge because the students had never used the carving tools before, but I think they rose to the challenge and made awesome prints.
