Art to Remember Fundraiser

Students created "under the sea" paintings based on unity and literacy. They are so talented! 

Welcome to Art!

Welcome to our new school year! I look forward to the creativity we will experience this year!

Inch by inch

Artists in grade 1 created closeups of grass inspired by the children's book "inch by inch" by Leo Lionni. They collaged tissue paper and added leaves and details from the story or their own imagination. 

Cherry Tree Lesson

Students created cherry blossom branches to celebrate Spring, Earth Day and Friendship. 3000 cherry trees were gifted to the US by Japan!

Be Pool Smart Posters

Students in Art Club were asked to create posters that illustrated the safety tips when swimming:

• Always swim with a buddy; 
• Children younger than five years of age should always be within arm’s reach when in or near the water; 
• Never push or jump on others; 
• Always remove toys from the pool, which can be very tempting to young children; 
• Tragedies can occur within seconds so never leave children of any age alone in or near the water; 
• Children can drown in just a few inches of water so be sure to empty the pool cover; 
• Keep a first aid kit stocked and available near the pool; 
• Know how to dial 9-1-1 and how to get help in an emergency; 
• Learn to swim!

First grade flowers of peace.

Picasso's Flowers of Peace, 1958 inspired artists in grade one. We painted "primary color" flowers using the brush to stamp petals and used secondary colors to create stems, leaves and the hands exchanging the flowers. 

Kindergarten forsythia branches with "inch by inch" worms.

Kindergarten artists created branches using uneven, diagonal lines and added tissue paper flowers. We read Inch by Inch by Lio Lionni which inspired them to add their own little inchworm. One of my favorites so far!
