Talking About ART

Students have been practicing talking about art in art class! First we watched a video called "the Umbrellas" by NickJr.  In the video two girls go to a museum and go into their favorite painting. They talk about what they see in the painting, blue umbrellas, an empty basket, and a little girl that looks like she could go to their school.

Then students looked at a calendar picture of artwork and discussed it with a partner. They looked for the elements of art in the picture, and what they thought the picture was about. They also discussed why the artist might have painted the painting and if they liked it or not, and why. They did a great job of talking about famous artworks and soon they will be talking about their own work in the same way!

 

ART TO REMEMBER

Art to Remember Fundraiser

Coming in February!

 How it works....  1) Students are creating a piece of artwork through November.

                             2) We put a label on the back of each artwork and send it the
                                  ART TO REMEMBER company.

                             3) They take a digital picture of the artwork and create a brochure for each
                                  child's work.

                              4) Brochures are sent home with students and families can choose to order
                                  an item printed with their child's artwork. Available products are many.
                                  A few examples are: Keychain, coffee mug, reusable bag, cell phone case.
                                  These will be ready in February.

                              5) Families may order if desired in March and items printed with artwork will be
                                  delivered in April.  Money will go to the elementary schools.

The kids are very excited about having their artwork produced on products so everyone will see their work. They will be famous artists!
