What are we doing in art?

Here is what we have been doing in the Christie Art room Lately!

5th grade Graders have been learning about Egyptian Hieroglyphs and Printmaking.

Fourth Grade Has Been creating Bugs Eye View works of art, using view finders. We were inspired by the American artist Georgia O'Keefe.

3rd Has been making sun mandalas using metal tooling.

Second grade has started a paper weaving in order to make the foundation for an animal mask.

1st grade is learning about the Fabulous Faberge' Eggs!

And last but not least, It's SNOWING in Kindergarten!

 

We kicked off our unit learning about Snowflake Bentley, the first photographer of snow!

Can't wait to show you are fabulous artworks!

Thanks for all your help Team!

This year is a little different than in the past. I am now the one and only art teacher here at Christie, since last year when our enrollment dipped below 700. 

I have always loved having help in the past but this year it means even more! I have many fabulous moms, watch dog dads and even grandparents that have come in to lend a hand!


Many students that have also donated their time on rainy days at recess or after school! It really shows what a wonderful Christie family we truly have! Thanks team! Take a look at our wonderful displays that were definitely a team effort!


First Grade's Henri Matisse inspired collage...

Second grades' Eric Carle and Franz Marc inspired animals...

Glitter like gold!

Kinder, Fourth and Fifth graders art works are also included in the display outside the learning commons...

Fifth graders explored Surrealism...

4th graders made symbolic self portraits inspired by Frida Kahlo...

Kindergarten learned all about lines and texture to create their fabulous portfolios!

When you walk in the front hallway I know you'll love the variety of work that you can see!
