November 2017

​Kindergartners have been working hard on their cutting skills in art.  They created a giraffe and included lots of details to make them look like giraffes!  Now we are continuing to work on our scissor skills by working on landscapes, which are pictures of the outdoors.  First graders & Ms. Dressel’s class are working on a color theory project by making a picture of Chicken Little.  We read the book and painted paper in different colors.  We mixed secondary colors from primary colors.  Now we are cutting out the various parts of the chicken.  Second graders are working on a weaving project to use as a placemat at their feast later this month.  The important words for weaving are over and under.  Third graders are currently working on a texture monoprinting project.  They are using various objects to create prints using paint and Gelli-Plates.  These prints will be used with another project later this month.  We have been having a lot of fun creating these prints and seeing our results!
