It's good to be back in the art room! It was a busy summer with packing, unpacking, and sending both my boys off on new adventures. Now I'm ready to start new adventures with my Polser kiddos in the art room. We are starting off the year with a collaborative art work completed by all the students from Kindergarten through 5th grade. The students worked hard and even included the PreK kiddos that don't come to art classes but are still part of the Polser family. Props to fellow art teacher Cassie Stephens at cassiestephens.blogspot.com for the wonderful idea.
Dot week brought about various dot artworks throughout our school. Third grade created dot fish, using the book, You be You by Linda Krantz, for inspiration. We demonstrated line, pattern, space, shape and color in our unique fish. Our Kinder and Firsties explored printmaking by using various sizes of circle stampers (lids, caps, rolls, etc.) and creating wonderful abstract artworks. 4th & 5th grade collaborated by created a 1/4 dot to join into giant dots. All of our creations were dot-tastic!
