SFE ARTISTS

New TAB stations for Kinder and First! March themed!

My Thriving Artist listened to an SEL book called “Scribbaloo and the Color Cruncher” and created Scribble Sculptures to work on fine motor skills and to foster creativity!

Presenting our wonderful February Superintendent Award Winners! Way to be amazing student role models!!!

These sweet sneakers are finished and that’s a wrap for fifth grade art club!!

I’m really loving these Kente Cloth inspired paper weaving projects my 2nd and 3rd grade artist are creating!

Some of our Kinder & 1st TAB stations are teaching them team work, problem solving (How do I make eyes without crayons?), and using fiber to create art that also works on hand strength because squeezing the glue is a true workout!!!

Day two of 5th Grade art club! Some “sweet sneakers” being created!!

2nd & 3rd grade learned the significance of Kente Cloths in Ghana, Africa. They learned color choices and patterns had different meanings. We are paper weaving our “Values” Kente projects. Each color represents a special value and the color most dominant, is the most valued!

My two Expressions of Freedom groups did an awesome job on their projects!

A shortened time limit with my Primary Thriving artist made us take out our movement break but these awesome artist still made some amazing art by painting with pipe cleaners and stayed focused and engaged!

My intermediate Thriving Artists finished their penguin projects with a Valentine’s Day twist! They used a feather to paint the white bellies last week!

6th graders are learning about Udebele Geometric paintings and combining it with a Valentine theme!

Sneak peek at 5th grade art club projects….

My little Thriving artists have been learning about habitats in their classroom so we focused on bears in art! We painted with forks and then placed ears, nose, and eyes on our polar bears and brown bears!

Fourth and fifth graders are learning about West African Adinkra symbol and focusing on values that are important to them! We will be creating “Art with Meaning” using print making techniques!

Another group of outstanding students making great choices and being awesome peer role models at SFE!

My Thriving Artists’ word of the day in art class was “Sculpture”! We watched a Sesame Street video introducing the word, repeated the word the best we could, created sculptures of our own and did a freeze dance movement break to act like statutes! We will paint next week!

My kinder artists are going to be trying out TAB art (teaching artistic behavior) and in preparation for TAB, we are learning simple stations and behaviors we will see when we dive into projects. Drawing, Fine Motor, Sculpting, Constructing, Collage and Shape!

My Thriving Artists explored color mixing using liquid water colors and droppers! It was a great fine motor skill and strengthening activity! We always end our time with choice stations!

Fifth grade just wrapped up their constellation projects! We talked about constellations being art and stories in the sky. We discussed the difference between a star field and a galaxy and touched on their science vocab!
