Recycled Books become hedge hogs

What can you do with a book that is about to be recycled?  Well... third and fourth graders are making hedge hogs by folding these discarded treasures.  It is so much fun that we are thinking of trying turkeys next.  Stay tuned to see what we can create!

Monet monoprints

Claude Monet was the artist that inspired us.  We read a story and learned many facts.  In the Impressionistic style, we created our own water lily monoprints.  Enjoy the video to see our process and come and check out our arrays (nice math tie in!) in the corridors. 

Dot Day celebrations

Many thanks to Art Teacher Lisa Foley and the Summit Street artists in Ms. Hamilton's Kindergarten and Ms. Manz's First grade class.  WCS artists in Marybeth's and Ms. Eaton's artists were able to connect through Dot Day celebrations through Skype and ART!

Digital Portraits

Using iPads and PS Express, students created unique portraits.  Their creations will be used as inspirations for future projects! 

PASTEL LANDSCAPES

This week in ART third and fourth graders created pastel landscapes.

The vocabulary word we learned was "SPACE".

Space means creating the illusion of depth in a piece of art!  :)

Congratulations SPARK artists!!
