In the art room, students created color mixing spin tops! The students enjoyed how quick they were to make and even used the rulers to create smaller arenas for the tops to spin.

Third grade students created their leaf prints by Styrofoam block printing Printmaking is messy but fun!! The students went from table to table to try different color combinations. They needed to put their work on the drying rack and then wash and dry their Styrofoam before creating their next print.
Every year I love to show the students American artist Doris Lee's painting Thanksgiving. This year I had the students be "Art Detectives." When looking at the painting the students had to imagine what their 5 senses would experience if they stepped into the painting. The students had to imagine what they might hear, smell, taste, see, or could touch in this painting.
The cornucopia or horn pf plenty is a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers, or nuts. Second grade students used model magic clay to create fruits, vegetables, and things from nature to fill their own cornucopia. Thier cornucopia was created by a straw texture rubbing. Students then had to create their own secondary colors in the clay by mixing the primary colors together.
Kindergarten students created visual texture on yellow and green paper. They then tore the paper and glued it down to create their ear of corn.
Second grade students learned how to create the illusion of space in their art. Students created a tree collage and used cardboard to paint their paper to create texture for their tree trunks. Students also created a collaborative iPad drawing showing deep space and creating visual texture of tree bark on the tree trunks.
The fourth and fifth grade students performed their Broadway Music Program last night. Such a fabulous job! Fourth grade students first created paper folded stars and a blended chalk background. When students glued their star down they glued just the points of the star to create dimension in their art.
