Back to Art

Play dough art is happening in kindergarten. When we follow the procedures, we get to play with play dough. We are learning how to pass pencils, write our names and class codes on top, and how to stack papers at the end of class. We will be identifying and creating lines, shapes, and eventually using paint to create these lines and shapes.

First grade is making sketchbooks and reviewing lines and shapes.

American Art takes a front seat this year! Four artists from a particular time period are featured at each table.

Second and third grades are viewing and drawing an art work from the table label at their table. Fourth graders are making an art "cootie catcher" that features questions about the artwork at their table. They will glue four art pictures on the cootie catcher, write a question about each one, then provide the answer.

Do you know why Dolly Madison was still in the White House when the British were burning down Washington, DC? It has to to with art.
