FINALLY!!!

The fifth grade classes have FINALLY begun painting their ceramic projects this past week!!!  It's been a long process, and the kids have been so patient about waiting.  Once they're finished, I'll stick a bunch of them in the front showcase to show them off!!!

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!!!

"SHOW ME THE MUNNY!"

Hmmm...what two classes are going to earn enough Weller Bux to purchase the "Kid Robot Action Figure" art project?!?  It's going to be a right race...

MONOCHROMATIC PAINTINGS

Artworks created by Clark Hamilton (Batman), Evan Brown (Hulk), Gavin Cosette (Luke), Piper Cooper (Iron Man)

Check out a small sampling of the fifth grade monochromatic paintings!!!  I modified a project that I have done in the past, and turned them into a great still life project focusing on color theory.  All students painting a black and white photograph of a still life object using three tints of one color (color with the addition of white), the pure color itself, and two shades of a color (color with the addition of black).  These great projects will be making their way to the showcase and one of the display boards sometime next week, so next time you're in the building, be sure to check them out!

INTRODUCING "BUSTIN JIEBER"

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!!!

You can now follow my Creekview Art Room on Twitter!!!  This is not a personal account, and should not be used as such.  I'll occasionally 'tweet' information and news from the art room as well as cool and interesting things about art that I happen to come across.  Feel free to check it out!

"YAY!"

One of my favorite things is when students draw pictures for me for no apparent reason.  I just love student art, especially when it is art that they create and that they decide to make.  That's really one of the big goals I have for my students as they take my art classes here at Creekview; for them to become independent art makers; for them to recognize the type of art that they like to create, and create it.  Not only do I display this work given to me proudly...but I actually even keep it after the kids are gone.  I am in my 13th year of teaching, and have gladly 'collected' student art given to me for at least the past 10.  It makes for great memories!!!

Everyone have a GREAT weekend!!!

MAGIC AND MUSIC

The cast of Magic and Music

I captured this picture today at rehearsal for our Creekview musical, "Magic and Music", and it was just too cute to not share!!!  One month away and still LOTS to do, but the kids are doing great and having a wonderful time!  Mrs. DelaHostria and I love working with them!
