K-2nd grade Contesters

I submitted student artwork to "Celebrating Art," a program that publishes student artwork. Click Here to learn more. Many Fernwood students were chosen to be contestants in the final competition. All they need to do is turn in their parent permission slip forms. I will find out who the winners are in August. I will be sure to update you. Good Luck to the Fernwood Contestants!

Line Mania!!

Bulletin Board Artwork from Top Left Corner (remember click on it for CLOSE-UP):

Emonie, Shakeyah, Keshawn, Alexzandria, Princess, and Johntaye.

Lines are the most basic element of art, but our lines are not very basic! We combined over 6 types of lines and made them colorful and labeled.

Laurel Burch's Fantastic Felines

This past month, Fernwood enjoyed spring's floral with Laurel-pa-looza! Each class did a different Laurel Burch project. She is one of my favorite artists because of her bold colors and fanciful subject matter. She started by selling artwork on the street and now her artwork designs have been turned into journals, fabric, clothing, and more more!! Check it out: http://shopping.netsuite.com/laurelburch One of her favorite things to paint is cats. Stay posted because there will be much more Laurel Burch inspired artwork posted next week!

Happy Turkey Day!

Kindergarten and 1st graders used feathers, pine cone, clay, pom pom, and googly eyes to make their cute little turkeys. Enjoy the long weekend!

Practicing with scissors

The first graders were the first students to earn the right to use the scissors. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they used them. Their goal was to cut zig-zag, straight and wavy lines and most the students could do it.

The dotted paper has a Dr. Suess quote saying "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells". This paper was quite appropriate for the project. Although the first graders might not understand "nonsense" and "brain cells", the adults who read it from the artwork might appreciate it.
