Artist of the Week 1 / 30 / 2020

The student I am choosing to recognize this week is a role model. They ask quality questions in class that let me know they are thinking about our lessons, but also how to make their artwork their own. They use their time extremely well. They are able to talk to their classmates a little, but get right to work. They are fast and efficient, but the quality of their work never suffers. They are so efficient they have actually made 2 quality versions of three of our major projects, often leaving one here to share with our school community. And lastly, I must thank them for being both patient and polite when I forget their name. They always remember to call me Mr. Carter when I do. Check out her pink and purple painting she created after completing her Mondrian primary color painting! Congratulations BS in Ms. Newkirk's 3rd Grade Class, Student Artist of the Week!

Artist of the Week 1 / 23 / 2020

Britto Romero is an artist who was born in Brazil and now lives in the United States in Florida. His art has elements of cubism, pop art and graffiti. After spending some time looking at his work Fourth Grade students identified his use of vibrant colors, thick black lines, and simple patterns. They then used his work as inspiration for these heart pieces that should be finished in time to get up in the hallway for Valentines Day.

The student I am choosing to recognize today does a good job remembering our assignments from the week before. He takes pride in his work and is helpful both passing out materials and cleaning the room. I really enjoyed watching him experimenting with color as he finished his piece. He was excited to see the colors mixing and creating new colors, but also managed to not go too far and kept his colors bright and vibrant. Nice work G.A. in Ms. Soule's 4th Grade Class, Student Artist of the Week!

Artist of the Week 1 / 2 / 2020

You know a student is invested in their classroom assignment when they choose to work on it during free time. The student I am choosing to recognize today always does quality work in art class. When students are acting goofy or not making their best effort in Art Class, he separates himself so he can do his work. For this project he is the only student I saw use a ruler to make sure his lines were straight and to cut his snowglobe out and put a ribbon on it. Nice work CP in Ms. Hoskins' 5th grade class, Student Artist of the Week!
