Sept. 14th-18th

Things have been settling down at Langston as the kids(and teacher) get into a routine. The Square1 Art Fundraiser is in the beginning stages, as all the students are finishing their artwork, I am preparing to send it off to the company to have individualized catalogs printed! Be on the look-out for   an email from me when the catalogs are sent home. :)

This week in art...

Kdg.- Kinders are finished with their dot paintings to celebrate International Dot Day (Sept. 15th), and now we are learning about the 3 primary colors and how to mix them to create secondary colors.
1st- First graders are learning about landscapes and landscape lines. We're starting our landscapes this week-- very exciting.

2nd- Second graders are finishing their Square1 Van Gogh sunflowers. These are GORGEOUS. The students really understood the process of mixing paint on the paper like Van Gogh, instead of the palette.

3rd- Third Graders are drawing Robot Worlds using shapes and a horizon line. The kids have been so creative with these and excited to share their robot worlds with other students-- A LOT of getting out of their seats :)

4th- Fourth and fifth graders are still finishing up their Radial Symmetry Name Designs. This is a time-consuming project, but the students are really grasping understandings about symmetry in art and they are very proud of their finished products!

5th- See above
