I was fortunate enough to take a field trip to the Norman Rockwell Museum with Mrs.Tesoniero, our computer teacher and my mentor. They have a fantastic new exhibit called Behind the Camera.
Families of 5th & 6th grade students were invited to Family Fun night this past Thursday. A spaghetti dinner, Rock Band, karaoke, volleyball, board games, and an art project were enjoyed by all!
The entire school was lucky enough to go to the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Theatre to see the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobat Troupe. The show was incredible! I wasn't able to take photos until applause at the very end, so I only have these few photos to share. But it was amazing! http://www.chineseacrobats.com/sgl.php
5th graders made these colorful glueprints by creating glue and cardboard to make printing plates. They explored overlapping printing inks as well as selectively printing certain colors on their glue printing plates.
Done by 5th grade artists.
These will be featured in an art show at the Project Sprout Garden this spring along with spring seed packets done by my future 5th graders in the spring.
Picasso Inspired Portraits
These fun portraits required no realistic skin or hair colors. They had to include pattern, line & shape as Picasso's portraits always did. The 5th graders did a great job!
