This Week in Art:
This Tuesday night, December 10 is our much anticipated Christmas program! Please take a stroll around the hallways to view the displays of our students’ Christmas artwork. The students have all worked very hard and I am so proud of each and every one of them! *NOTE* You will not see the angel pie tin sculptures that the Fifth Grade made as we will be finishing them this Thursday. That class will be taking their sculptures home to use during the holidays.
Our Preschool classes are putting the finishing touches on their Baby Jesus Nativity Heart decoration. The Kindergarten class did an amazing job drawing The Nativity. They used their shapes and what they learned about drawing people to aid them. That’s right….NO MORE STICK FIGURES! 🙂 In addition to the lovely tissue paper plate wreaths the First graders made the class is also making a choir of angels. Second graders are finishing up their first Christmas Tree pop-up card to be given to a special person.
Please find the Nativity Scenes that the Third Grade drew displayed in the cafeteria. This class is starting one of my favorite projects this week: a Winter Birch Tree Collage! Fourth Grade will be finishing up their Cubist style angel drawings (also displayed in the cafe). Our Fifth graders look forward to completing their Pie Tin Angel sculptures this week as well.
Sixth graders drew their version of poinsettia flowers in a pot using oil pastels (hallway next to gym). The class will start a chalk pastel new year calendar illustrating The Northern Lights. You should be enjoying the outstanding Christmas card drawings the Seventh Grade completed — highlighted in the gym hallway on the opposite side of the Eighth graders’ artwork. By the way, our Eighth Grade class certainly pepped up our hallways for the holidays with their string of lights word art drawings. Finally, our new Trimester 2 Art Elective class started the paintwork for the popsicle sticks they will need to build their Christmas tree sled ornaments.
Keep warm and keep Jesus in your Christmas preparations!
