Week 9

1st - All first graders are studying the artist Jasper Johns.  Jasper Johns was a painter who used lots of letters and numbers in his artwork.  This week we are exploring art through using stencils.  Using tempera paint, we place a stencil on our paper and begin to create.  Some students are creating their names, other students are using numbers, and a few are making the whole alphabet!

2nd - In second grade we are finishing up our project where we studied Chuck Close.  Last week we learned that Chuck Close created a portrait by using his fingerprints.  We started painting with our fingerprints.  The students had a blast!


3rd  and 4th - All of South Elementary is working on their Red Ribbon Week masks.   Last week we started designing our masks.  This week we are starting to put them together.  Most students got their mask colored with marker, crayon, or colored pencil.  Next week students will be adding decorations to their mask.   If you have any decorations that your child could use please send it with them!
