Kindergarten Learns to Draw Cats!

In Kindergarten for the last few weeks we've been working on shapes and how to see shapes in the objects we wish to draw.  After reading Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses the kinders then learned how to find the shapes they saw in Pete.  They learned that cats could be drawn mostly with triangles.  The results are creative and dare I say it: adorable.

2nd Annual Green Art Show

The 2nd Annual Green Art Show was a huge success! Thank you so much to those who came and supported the school and our students. Here are a few pics from the night!

Greenwood Community School Corp Elementary Art Show!

 The other Greenwood Community Elementary Art teachers and I had our first ever district wide Art Show at the Greenwood Library: and it was AWESOME!  The students had their work on display at the library for a week and then we had a reception to celebrate their work Isom, Northeast, Southwest, and Westwood picked 50 students from each school to participate in the art show so those who were chosen to participate should feel very honored!  I particularly was so pleased at how many of our families showed up to support their young artists!

  Here are some pics from the fun night!

1st Grade Color Wheel Collage

1st Grade spent a lot of time working on their color wheel collage project!  Not only did students learn about the color wheel and how we figure which colors go where; but also, they learned about cutting, gluing, and assembling collages from magazine pages. They turned out adorable!  They got many compliments from visitors during their time on display.
