March 14-18, 2011

Kindergarten-The children will be painting tissue paper just like Eric Carle!  The tissue paper will be used during our next class time to add color to some of Eric Carle's characters.

First grade learned how artists make pictures move.  Claymation artists actually call their characters puppets.  This week the children will begin learning about the texture of turtles and they will practice their clay modeling techniques using paly dough.

Second grade has been glazing their African masks.  I have to fire them one more time before the children can add hair and whiskers. 

Third grade will finish their weavings this week!  You'll see them coming home soon.  Many thanks to Mrs. England for helping with Mrs. Stephan's class.

Fourth grade has begun to add color to their Ron Burns' cats and dogs.  They will be using oil pastels to make their animals in vibrant colors.  They also wrote the Guiding Principles using acrylic paints to create textures.  Their Guiding Principles will be used by Mrs. Sofiya, our guest artist, to complete the Maple Glen art installation.
