October Happenings

So the month of October basically wraps up our quarter. Updated grades are on Powerschool and I have told all students that feel like they are behind to work on staying after school on Tuesdays to catch up. We only have a few left before November 3rd rolls around and the kiddos switch to their next quarterly course. We have been super busy here and will be starting clay tomorrow! Today is demo day but Weds-Fri students will be building. They are very excited. Check out some of the fall inspired work below....

Grade 5
Students worked with tempura paint and printmaking to create fall landscape collages. They were inspired by the work of Eloise Renouf and her beautiful prints to create their trees and prints. All of them came together beautifully to add color to the hallways. Hopefully some are up on your refrigerators at home already!

Grade 6

Sixth graders worked with symmetry to work on collages as well. They first were inspired by the Dia de los Muertos to create sugar skull designs and then worked with their name in cursive to create a mirror image to make their skull bones :) They then added embellishments to create a fun skeleton collage with painted papers and construction paper. 

Grade 7

I could not be more proud of the 7th graders who worked with pen & ink techniques and architectural elements to produce haunted houses. They worked large scale at 16x20 and they look fantastic!!! All will be going up in the halls soon to get the kids excited about the season. 

Check out the bulletin board in the front lobby!!! Great Fall theme :)
