Grade 1 and 4 Current work

In March fourth graders explored foreground, middle-ground and background using chalk and paint to describe a winter scene. This winter offered beautiful images to draw from. First graders started a three week study of birds with these bird/ birch tree collages. They have gone on to create bird sculptures and an illustrated bird field guide.

Let's Hear it for Mrs. Groleau!

I want to give a very public, loud shout out to Lisa Groleau for doing an incredible job as my long term art substitute while I was on maternity leave. Lisa inspired our students, she has boundless energy and she tackled some pretty tough areas of learning. One point perspective in grade 5 and complex sculpture techniques in clay and paper mache are just a couple. Our students were also introduced to several famous artists. Lisa Groleau, you did a great job! Here is just a few samples of the student works created with Mrs. Groleau! There is so much more great stuff that Lisa created with our students. I will try to post more in the weeks to follow!

It has been incredible seeing all my old friends at WP, and meeting some new ones! I feel energized to continue with all the great work that has been going on. I will try to post new projects every couple of weeks! Stay tuned!
