Hello all ART lovers!
Our year has gotten off to a spectacular start here in room
133! The ART 1 kids have been working
hard learning to use x-acto knives! Rest assured we are safe and there has been
NO blood! They are currently experimenting with reflections, line of symmetry
and complimentary colors. It almost sounds like MATHJ Today we started creating a
cube from a flat piece of paper…I know… that is why we call it the “challenge
box”! ART 2 has done some watercolor painting to help spruce up our school as
well as painting some lovely food paintings.
Advanced ART started out the at
warp speed; so far they have sewn their own sketchbooks, drawn a self-portrait
using a yard stick, newspaper and Sharpie!!! They have designed a ceramic tile
that they are in the process of glazing and OH YES, learned all the Elements of
ART and the importance of “putting a matt on that”!!!! be sure to ask????
Assignments were given the first week of school for the “ART
in the NEWS” and” Gallery Visit”. These
are to be done as homework ..specifics can be found on Family Access as well as
with your child!!! https://rpsfamily.rockfordschools.org/
Next week starts ARTPrize so.. I hope you all take advantage
of the wonderful experiences to be had by taking a trip to downtown GR in the
next couple of weeks to enjoy all the art so close to home!
**NOTE: ARTPrize certainly counts as a Gallery Visit and there will be
many articles online and in the paper about ARTPrize in the next few weeks.
Time seems to be
accelerating here in the art room so until next week or possibly the
next..Happy Friday!
Mrs. Appleby and Ms. Emily
