Bring on the Spring!

I hope you all have a wonderful SNOWCATION! I don't know about you but I am now ready... REALLY READY for SPRING! We have so many things happening here in the art room at BES within the next two weeks!...
Ms. Brown, our VCU art student teacher, has two more weeks with us here in Beaverdam.
The Spring 2015 Art Club is wrapping up next Monday.
The Art Extravaganza will be March 6th (WOOOHOOO!! I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!)

But for now, here is an update on what we have been doing during these cold winter weeks :)


4th Grade Totems! Ok, so I am a little obsessed over these little treasures! Ms. Brown was absent last Friday so I got a chance to teach and have two of our 4th grade classes paint their totem. The results are MAGNIFICIENT!








 
 
 
Before Ms. Brown took over teaching all of our students, second grade finished a winter landscape collage using various materials like poster board, cardboard, and foam paper. They turned their collages into collographs by inking them up and printing them on color colored paper. These prints sure remind me of our beautiful snow last week!
 






 
 
Art Club has been having a great time each Monday afternoon! During our last meeting, students created ceramic flowers. They each created one for themselves and one to donate to an Art Extravaganza auction art piece!
 
 
Students love working with clay! I can't blame them, who doesn't!? :)


 
 
The Art Extravaganza is going to be AMAZING! We will have an artwork from EVERY student on display here at BES that night. I can't wait to see our student's faces light up when they see their artwork in our school art gallery walk. We will also have a BES recorder performance right before the live art auction! SO EXCITING! There is a class art project from each class here at BES that will be auctioned off to raise money for projects and activities within our school that promote CREATIVE THINKING! Here some images of Mrs. Holloway's class working with their classroom teacher and room parents on their BES inspired CORNHOLE BOARDS!
 




 
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU HERE FOR THE 2015 ART EXTRAVAGANZA
 FRIDAY MARCH 6TH AT 6:30!!!
 
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON THE FUN!!
