Catch-Up Day! 6-5-12

The student artists put forth some good effort to finish-up projects. The primary focus was to complete the monochromatic painting started last week. Today, students worked on their foreground by adding black to shade the purple base color. Most students finished and most paintings are in the drying rack in the Art Room. Other students finished their charcoal still life drawings, chalk pastel cityscapes, and/or non-objective watercolors. Anything that did not go home today will go home next week. I plan to be at Phantom Lake next Tuesday at lunchtime for students to stop by the Art Room and pick up artwork. Our wonderful volunteer, Irene, will make sure any artwork left behind after next week gets back to each student's classroom teacher.
It's been a pleasure presenting art experiences to the children! I received many nice "thank yous" from very polite children. Look for new and different experiences being offered next year. 'Smart with Art' provides enriching experiences that connect history, cultures, artists, techniques, and materials. Art is a journey, not a destination.
