As we come to the end of another 9 weeks I would like for you to see what we have accomplished in the Art Room at Brownsville Elementary.
Kindergarten works on basic fine motor skills by learning to sew in the project "The Mitten"
1st grade discovered what Eric Carle does to create his picture drawings. They made painted paper, planned, designed, cut, traced, glued and shared with the school. These amazing works of art are hanging in the halls and will come home soon.
2nd grade created Chinese Brush Painting with local artist Ann Friend Clarke. They used authentic chinese brush painting materials and learned chinese brush painting techniques.
3rd grade is using their sketchbooks to takes notes, plan and design when starting new projects like coil pots and learning about space and perspective in a work of art.
4th grade is also using sketchbooks to take notes on new concepts, planning and designing. When learning about clay, where it comes from and how to build clay pockets using the slab technique they took notes and wrote down their thoughts and ideas in their very own sketchbooks.
5th grade created clay sculptures using all the techniques they have learned since Kindergarten. Pinch pots, coils, and slabs where all the techniques they used. Then by adding texture and color their sculptures became a great works of art.
The students have been working hard and enjoying their time being creative.

Keep it up!
