The Note That Made My Day

I have the best students!


2nd/3rd Split Aboriginal Animal Art

St. Monica artists focused on aboriginal artwork by looking at similarities in style and theme.  Students started with an animal design and then added rubbings in the background.  On the final day, students learned about the printmaking process and added prints over the rubbing background.  They turned out amazing!  Way to go artists!












3rd Grade Medieval Castles

"Queen Clearwaters" took St. A 3rd graders back into time.  We had all kinds of princes, princess' and knights around the room.  Students studied medieval architecture and defense.  Students created their own castles with a magical twist.  




2nd Grade Wayne Thiebaud Mixed Media Cupcakes

Artists from St. A and WWA have created these absolutely amazing cupcakes!  We discussed the artist Wayne Thiebaud and watched a short clip on his life.  The students put in a ton of hard work and the results are impressive!












Art Hop Is A Huge Success!!

Thank you to all the families that made it out to art hop!!  The turn out was great and I was so proud of our artists.  I even had a local artist contact me to tell me how impressed she was with the project.  Wow!  How cool is that?!  Here are some in process and art hop photos...









1st Grade Textured Owls

Artists from St. A and WWA have been working on textured owls.  We learned about owls and their habitat.  They turned out outstanding!!  Keep up the hard work artists!
