Impressionist Fall Tree:
The first graders embarked on a series of exercises that included texture rubbings, tempera painting of a foreground and background, and a discussion on the French Impressionists.
They looked at George Seurat and pointillism. Pointillism is a style of painting in which small dots of color create the impression of a wide selection of other colors and blending.
All these experiences were combined into final pieces of artwork.

Let's Paint a Rainbow:
The Kindergarten class had an exercise in color recognition today. Students were told to select a marker in the proper sequence by color. We tried to make concentric half-circles or semi-circles. Students followed the teacher-led example on the Promethean board. We colored in the spaces made by our semi-circles. When done we embellished our drawings with a creative setting that might include a pot of gold. Submitted by Mr. Retz, Art Teacher.
