This is the first time I have had my own art room, and the room is slowly becoming awesome! This week the classes have become more responsible for getting supplies and cleaning up. We time clean ups and the fastest clean up in each grade will get a special art day before winter break! Everyone is very excited! And we have seen some awesome times so far this week, and they will only get better. I am also slowly starting to get more supplies ordered; as well as, getting an Artsonia page up and running. Artsonia is a free website for student art. Student art is posted (as photos), the students can write in titles and captions, and then parents (or any other family member) can purchase special things with their students art on it. The best part? Some of the money from the purchase of any items through our schools page, will come back to our art room! This will help supplement our budget so that we can all kinds of fun, exciting, new projects in the room. Expect an email from the site soon with more information. I will also post a link in both the wishlist section and the contact section of this blog. I have also finally started getting your students' name tags hung in the hallway. The goal is to have the whole school have art up at once for at least a little while! Next up will be dot day art! In addition to the amazing art in the hall, students have continued to make pretty spectacular art in the room as well. Fifth grade has started one point perspective, and are taking to it like fish to water! Fourth grade has started working with watercolors with an experimentation day. Minus some kerfuffle and mess the first day, they are all doing really well with all the different supplies. Third grade have been brainstorming and sketching personal symbols that they will create with pointillism and second has started collages about what they did this summer. First grade is also working on dot day, by creating dots with different parts. So far we have a dot with different lines and a dot with different shapes. Kindergarten is still finishing name tags but will get on the dot day bandwagon next week.
As always, the art room would love donations whenever! Check out the wishlist section to see a short list of things we use frequently, any kind of help is very much appreciated! Comments are closed.
