GWMS Week 5.2

GWMS Week 5.2

The last group of students have started the 5th rotation in the art room - I can not believe this year is almost over!  I have learned so much as a first-year TAB teacher.  I like to think the students have learned a lot too.  As the 8th graders prepare to move onto high school, it is my hope that many of them will continue to study art.

GWMS Week 4.6

G.W.M.S. Week 4.6

Only one more week of the fourth rotation - time sure flies!  This past Thursday was Collage, District 103's fine arts festival.  The elementary art teachers and I displayed work from our school in the media center for the night.  We had a great turn out and it was nice to see the students' art being celebrated.

The students are having fun exploring painting and printmaking.  We also had several students work on the "Doodle 4 Google" project - it would be fantastic to have a GWMS student's design win!

We all hope spring is just around the corner!  Even with snow on the ground, there are flowers blooming in the art room.

Some lovely collage projects have been created this past week!  

In Art Club we worked on another collaborative art project inspired by the Mandala Project.  We did not have enough students to make a whole "blanket" so we filled these display boards instead.

We wrapped up the second week of the fourth rotation.  The drawing center and the collage center are open, with painting opening tomorrow.  

Below is a picture of a canvas painted by the GWMS Art Club.  We are participating in the "Dream Rocket" project (dream rocket), sponsored by the International Fiber Collaborative.  They plan to stitch together 8,000 panels to cover a replica of the Saturn V Moon Rocket.  I am so glad that we could participate in this project!
