Busy Busy Bees!!

I have not posted any artwork in a while. This is what I have been busy doing.
ART CLUB!! Thanks to my art club helpers who came Mon-Thurs (sometimes even Fridays, they couldn't get enough art club ;-)) to help out with the art room and work on their art projects.
Art Star Celebrities taking pictures on the Red Carpet at Fernwood's HipHop Award Ceremony. I blurred faces because some students have not turned in photo permission forms.
Mosaic Part One: Gluing all the pieces down, and getting hands dirty with Liquid Nails. For future reference, wear gloves while using liquid nails. But if you are like me and get liquid nails stuck on your hands, use nail polish remover to get it off. I discovered that after a couple days of dirty looking hands.

Mosaic Part Two: Grouting! Very fun to feel the mushhhhy grout. But if you are concerned about your carpet, you might want to lay down a blanket! Whoops.

Thank You to my 3rd Quarter Art Stars

Each class has many art stars, but I chose students who have showed extra effort in following the rules of the art room, working hard on their art projects and setting a great example to their classmates. These students have helped their neighbors and make art class peaceful and enjoyable. I notice and appreciate you.
Third Quarter Art Stars are as follows:
Room 402: Devin, Room 403: Demarion, Room 202: Denaija, Room207: Anthony, Room 201: Amanda, Room 206: Trevius, Room 208: Mark, Room 106: William, Room108: Ellusion, Room302: Kenya, Room301: Darneisha, Room307: Farenheit, Room 306:Brandon, Room 308: Malik

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.
