Art Club: Chinese New Year Dragons

For this session of Art Club, students are 'traveling the world' to learn about fun and beautiful art from around the globe! 

Students, from grades 3-5, 'flew' to China to celebrate the Chinese New Year! We listened to Chinese music, ate fortune cookies, and created our own dragon puppets! The dragon template can be found at Crayola's website!

Here are a few of our creations! 

Nice job Art Club!

Kindergarten Pattern Heart Art

I hope that everyone is enjoying their relaxing mid-winter break! Valentine's Day was in full blast at SJV last week and the kindergarten class created beautiful patterned heart-art for their Valentines!

In this project we focused on patterns and creating a watercolor crayon resist on our hearts. For a little added pzazz we added gold details using a paint pen!

Wonderful job Kindergarten!

Pre-K Christmas Trees

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! The new year is around the corner (as well as all of our snow)! Enjoy the rest of the vacation and I'll see you next week!

In PreK art we mixed blue and yellow to create green paint! We created our own Christmas trees, decorating them with gold metallic paint!

Here is a student example:

Be ready for new and fun art lessons in 2013!!

PreK: The Silly Pumpkin Patch

PreK created silly pumpkin faces just in time for Halloween! 

We mixed two primary colors, red and yellow paint, to make orange color of our pumpkins! 

We practiced cutting out all of the parts of our Jack-O-Lanterns! We loved making silly faces!

Here is our Silly Pumpkin Patch!

This project was so much fun! Happy Halloween!!
