Sring is in the Air!

This past Friday we marked the beginning of Spring

 by taking our art outside.

We decided to create artwork for the KIDSART FAIR coming up on April 21, 2010.

Fourth graders were able to use the knowledge they gained in their drawing unit, to create the beginnings of a drawing while sitting in the beautiful weather outside.

They each picked a spot and drew what they saw.

They were able to either use a specific technique or combine ones they already knew with ones they learned.

Some first graders used oil pastels to

draw the area around the school.

They drew with an outline style only.

Next class we will be using watercolors to paint the same pictures.

We are all very excited for the upcoming

KIDSART FAIR!

R.S.V.P. letters went out this past Friday...

Please keep an eye out for these, as they will serve as a list for the artwork that will be framed before the big gallery show in the gym.

I look foward to seeing you all around the school and at the
KIDSART FAIR!!
