Fish

The 3rd and 4th graders have been 
working on three foot figures of 
people and fish.  Using their 
imagination and materials of 
their choice, the children have 
made the figures "What I will be 
when I am a teenager or older."  
We have lifeguards, sports 
figures, etc.  

The fish have been decorated with 
markers, oil pastels and 
patterned paper.  The childrem 
are very excited with the results 
of their work and can't wait to 
take them home.

Fall

Leaves were the focal point of 
the kindergarten through 8th 
grade projects this month.  From 
simply cutting and coloring large 
and small leaves and gluing them 
to a surface to make a door 
hanger or a poster, we 
used differnt techniques and 
materials in our work.  

We mixed the red and yellow for 
our orange,the blue and yellow 
for our green, and the red yellow 
and blue for shades of brown. 

We used oil pastels, colored 
paper, watercolors, watercolor 
pencils, and we used color 
diffusing paper. Some of the 
children drew trees and sponge 
painted the leaves, while others 
used tempra paint.  

There are some beautiful examples 
on display on the bulletin board 
outside of the art room.
