4th Grade Pumpkins

Ms. Runyon's fourth grade class just finished their ceramic pumpkins! Ths is always a favorite project for them! We learned about the pinch pot method and students rolled a coil for the stem! 

Artwork Storage

How do you keep and store 300+ student's artwork until April? Storage boxes! I made a promise to myself that this year I was going to find a way to keep student artwork organized! To help save me a lot of head aches during art show time. Well I unpacked a whole lot of copy paper to get this box collection! Here's to a more organized year!

Aprons! Brought to you by Artsonia!

Thanks to all of your purchases made through Artsonia this year! We were able to purchase new "tiger blue" aprons for the students! The students love them, and they look fancy artists which makes them feel good! I'm looking forward to adding new student artwork to Artsonia again this year to share with families!

Welcome Back Artists!

We have new paintbrushes this year! Enjoy how pretty they are now because they won't stay this clean for long! I am so excited for a new year of art with the students! I can tell it's going to be a really great year!

Kandinsky Concentric Circles

Kindergarten has been learning about Wassily Kandinsky, one of the very first abstract artists. We read a story called The Noisy Paintbox about Kandinsky's childhood and his first experience with paint! We recreated one of his works "Concentric Circles." Students worked hard on cutting out small, medium and large circles and then pasting them to a painted background. I think their interpretations are beautiful!

Paper plate weaving!

3rd grade's paper plate weaving a are coming along quite nicely! I always love how these turn out and the students are really proud of themselves once their done! 

5th grade-paper mache block letters

Artsonia

Our school is participating in Artsonia, an online art gallery! I will be taking pictures of all of the student's artwork, posting them on the Artsonia website, and then parents and family members can go online and view their students work! They can also have the artwork printed on different keepsake items such as keychains, t-shirts etc.! What's also awesome is that 20% of the proceeds go to our art program here at school! I am so excited to be a part of this awesome program and to see where it takes us! Visit our school page!
