Unusual Snowfall in 2010

Today was the first day to feel like spring, but these snowmen are too cute to not post. Also not to forget all the snow from last month! During mid-February the USA had unusual amounts of snowfall. 49 of all 50 states were covered with snow (Hawaii is only state excluded). This is so strange that the federal offices have never kept track of such an occurrence. Therefore, they can’t look back to see if it has ever happened in the nation’s history before.

I want to give a special thanks to Janeia who earned the #1 Art Star for the 1st Quarter. As you have probably noticed, she has worked above and beyond on all her art projects. She has also had perfect attendance to Art Club! Below is the color wheel she did in preparation for her Madame Matisse and her radial name design.

Miss Reardon believes that these are great Leaves!

The 1st graders traced leaf stencils and drew spirals to make leaves blowing in the wind. It was their first time using watercolors this year and they did great!

The 8th graders rubbed leaves to create leaf-texture. They completed two different designs that were put together to make a diptych (two works of art that are meant to be next to each other). Using what they learned about negative and positive space, they colored the negative space in darker. They were very creative with their use of colors!

The 5th and 7th graders practiced overlapping with leaf stencils. They also used colored pencils to mix colors and create multi-colored leaves like the ones we see outside in the fall.

Getting to Know Names

First Project was doing a project with their name. It is great way to get to know each others' names.

The lower grades practiced drawing lines by tracing around and around their name. There was a large variety of artwork considering!







The Upper Grades did bubble letters with a vanishing point.
