Art Second Semester

Thank you to everyone for getting to class on time. That has been a huge help. Keep it up you don't want to miss the next fun projects.

Well I'm excited about art this semester and I want your kids to be also. We are trying new things. which can be scary for them. "Learning to see like an artist"  is our theme.

Each week we are working on developing our drawing skills by doing Echo Drawings. These are fun designs that help the kids to notice more patterns, textures, shapes, sizes and colors. Then our class projects have helped develop those skills further. with fun things like startbursts of their names and optical illusions. we will be working on patterns and lines in the next few weeks then we will be doing Zentangle ( if you don't know what this is ,Google it)

Some things to look forward to would be the Eric Carle project, Seascapes and yarn paintings. After the projects are complete we are going to do something really awesome. To show off our art work we will make a T-shirt from one of our Art pieces. And of course an art show at the end of the year.

Donated Materials Needed For Art: 
blue painters tape (send whatever partial rolls you have lying around)
Magazines- to cut out pictures(needed by Feb 5th)
Scrap yarn
White T-shirt ( one for each student, for art piece transfers)

Thanks,
