4th Graders Learn about Henri Rousseau...

This week in art 4th graders will be exploring the art of Henri Rousseau.  Rousseau was known for painting pictures of jungles. 

We looked at a Prezi and played with an online jungle making tool.  Check it out and make your own jungle... http://www.nga.gov/kids/zone/jungle.htm

Students if you make a jungle online, print it off and bring it to class for inspiration.  We will be starting our own jungle collages this week!

Summer Art Camp...3-D Art

This past week the afternoon camp had fun with all things 3-D.  Students made paper mache ice cream cones, model magic, wire sculptures, decorative masks, maracas and clay animals.  We had the pleasure of having Ms. Powers, the high school art teacher, as part of camp too.  

What an awesome group of kids!!!
