Hi again and coil bowls

Hi! I'm back and busy in the Art Studio! Check out the amazing coil pots that 3rd graders are creating! We are using Lizella clay from Georgia and using the coil building method, just like the Cherokee did hundreds of years ago! Since the bowls are functional art students will be able to use them. I can't wait to see the finished work!

I will start sending home finished bowls in March during our Empty Bowls Food Drive!



Look at these out of the bowl (box) thinkers!:

New Publix Display



Publix Display


The next time you visit our business partner to grocery shop, stop by the pharmacy to see the new display of artwork!  These pictures were created at the end of last year by 3rd graders and were inspired by my favorite artist, Frida Kahlo!  The following students have work on display: Stephanie, Anthony, Lily, David, Ria, Jack, Amanda, Brandon, Lilly, Anuj, Charlie, Alison, Bree, Christopher, Rion, Sophie, Annie, Rhett, Rebecca, and one "no name"!

Boys and girls: who can tell me the difference between a portrait and a self-portrait?

Winter Tree Prints

Third grade students have been creating winter tree prints. After studying the positive and negative space in trees students used poster board to create a printing plate. Students created three prints: a dark color on light paper, white on black paper, and an experimental rainbow roll.

Finally, students labeled their prints with the edition number, title, and signature.

Currently students are using their printing plate to create a relief sculpture. Photos to come!
