2015 STUDENT ART SHOWCASE!!!
On April 11th,
2015 I will be holding the second annual Student Art Showcase at the Houston
House. This Showcase will feature
artwork created by a select group of Creekview fifth and sixth graders created over
the course of the 2014-15 school year. The Showcase is a one-day art event, evolved from what was
once known as the District Art Show. I am
very proud of the students who were selected to take part in this year’s showcase,
and hope you might consider visiting this year’s visual arts celebration.
The 2015 Student Art Showcase will take place on Saturday, April 11th
from 11-3 at the Houston House; Union County’s cultural arts center. The Houston House is located on 264 West 5th
Street in Marysville. I hope that you'll consider joining me in celebrating the artistic achievements of some talented Creekview students.

I wish I had a name for this project that was as awesome as the finished pieces!!! "Pop Art Cartoon Faces" just doesn't have the 'hook' that the artworks do. When I thought up this project last summer, I never would have imagined they would have turned out so amazing!!! The kids did a marvelous job utilizing a grid to help them draw and then painting them with Termpera paint. I really like the projects...and seeing them like this, all clumped together, am even more amazed! I've gotta find a spot to hang these up for awhile...wouldn't you agree?

Pop Art Cartoon Faces
 |
| Pop Art Cartoon Faces in the drying rack from students in Mrs. Christian's and Mrs. McCleary's homerooms |
Each school year, I make an attempt to teach all new projects to my students. Some of those 'new' projects are modified from previous years while others are brand new ideas that pop into my head from time to time. This past summer, I had the idea of painting extreme close ups of cartoon characters; loosely based on the Pop Art of Andy Warhol. I didn't teach the project to my first semester fifth graders, as I was waiting on the small canvases which is upsetting because these are turning out so amazing!!! My second semester fifth graders on the green, yellow and purple teams are finishing them up this week, and then we'll switch over to learning about art's first 'true abstract' artist, Wassily Kandinsky.

Nearing Completion
So...the art room mural comes closer and closer to being complete. Of course...days like today where school is canceled certainly helps, lol. This morning I took care of adding Calvin and Hobbes and finished Mona Lisa's head. Once I tackle this corner, I can finally start to go back into the full mural and fill in the bits and pieces that are still missing. Anyway...slowly but surely...
