Welcome

Welcome to the Brownsville Elementary School art blog. We hope you enjoy exploring the art gallery created by the students in grades Preschool - 5th. The art projects we do with our students allows everyone to experience art through different mediums...

DRAWING

pencils, pens, crayons, markers and colored pencils

~Students start out in the lower grades learning how to draw animals using shapes. Then in the upper grades they learn proportions of the human face and figure. Then they learn how to shade and add value to make their drawings look realistic.

PAINTING

watercolors and tempera paint

~Students start with painting in Kindergarten and build on these skills all throughout elementary school. They learn how to properly use the paints and take care of the brushes.

SCULPTING

clay, wood, wire and found objects

~Clay is a favorite medium in all grades. Each year our clay projects build on each other so that by the time you are in 5th grade you use all the skills to create your sculpture. Kindergarten also uses found object to make faces. Second grade also uses wood to make Kachina Dolls and 4th also uses wire to create wire figures.

PLUS A FEW EXTRAS

print making, weaving and stitchery

~We print in many ways but mostly in 2nd grade, in 3rd grade we love to weave and in 4th (or 5th) we learn stitchery.


All of our students get to be in the studio for 45 mins. a week but they are constantly creating throughout every day.


Artfully yours!
your art teachers, Shannon Horridge and Tetyana Wittkowski

Square 1 Art is coming...Square 1 Art is coming....

Yippee! Woohoo! YEAH! It's coming home soon... Square 1 Art is coming home this week! Look for it in your child's backpack either Thursday or Friday! Your children have worked very hard to complete their projects and we have worked hard to send them to the Square ! Art company in Georgia. The Square 1 Art people have worked hard to scan in all of our art work...Now you have the EASY part! Order online (or if you must) send in your orders to the front office. The more orders we have the more money we will raise! Which means the more art your students will have the opportunity to produce with amazing materials. Let's get excited!
