CIS PERMANENT GALLERY

Additions to the 2013-14 CIS Permanent Gallery!!!  Artworks created by (L to R) top row: Claire Kuhnle, Emery Bates and Jacquelyn Witt; middle row: Jenna Rioch, Nathan Faust, Ethan Turk and Skyler Lawson; bottom row: Cole Pullen and Nina Kise

Each year a few artworks created by our CIS 6th Graders are selected for what is known as the "Permanent Gallery".  These artworks are framed and displayed in our commons throughout the year and it certainly brightens up the school!  This year, nine sixth graders have agreed to allow me to keep their artworks for display in the gallery.  

Artworks being retired from the permanent gallery created from 2001-2003. 

In addition to the artworks being displayed, I'm hoping to start a new program where students come back to receive their artwork near the completion of their senior year of high school.  So...in essence I guess the gallery is now semi-permanent, rotating through CIS student work created each year.  Works will be displayed for roughly the six years after students leave CIS, and then...hopefully...handed back to them when graduating.  Of course...I'm not entirely sure this will work, but I'm going to give it a go anyway.  And...I'll let you know if it works in six years when this year's batch of gallery participants graduate.  :)

PIZZA PIZZA!!!

PIZZA PARTY WINNERS!!!  

Congratulations to Mrs. Foust's class for winning the 2013-14 Art Room Pizza Party.  The class earned and saved a grand total of 532 Weller Bux over the course of the school year...a whopping 21 more than the second place class!!!  ...sorry I forgot the punch in my fridge, kids...whoops!  :)  CONGRATS!!!

HONORED!

I can't begin to tell you what an honor it is to be asked by former students to hand them their diplomas at graduation!  To think that six years after Creekview...something that I did with them in art class still resonates enough that they would come back and invite me to participate in this awesome moment!  Anyway...I could go on and on...but it truly is an honor!  Best of luck Pearson and Hailey!  Thank you for including me in your graduation moment!

DUNKED!!!

"You Can't Dunk This" was put to the test last Thursday and Friday during fifth and sixth grade field days!  And...despite my taunts and jabs...the kids occasionally hit the target...and dunked me.  It just takes one lucky through, ya know?!?  :)

UNDEFEATED!!!

...13-0 vs. 5th grade; 13-0 vs. 6th grade...

STUDENT vs. STAFF GAMES!!!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

ART ROOM RANDOMNESS...

6th Grade Yellow Team Goofballs!

One of the favorite parts of my...'job' (if you dare call it that...) is when kids just randomly pop in to say good morning!  Usually something randomly odd then ensure...like this morning, for example.  :)  (...I just wish I could get the kids to quit touching my toys!  :))
