During the month of January we transitioned to working on projects for the upcoming Westlawn Carnival on February 11th! Did you hear this year's theme? AROUND THE WORLD! Such a cool theme, and so fitting for art! I spent a lot of time brainstorming ideas of what to do... the options were numerous! Eventually I settled on having each grade focus on a mini theme that fits the BIG theme. Each grade level is learning about either a culture or artist from different parts of the world. Russia, Japan, Brazil, Egypt, and many other places are being represented through the students' artwork! You'll have to check out each grade level to see what type of "worldly" artwork they are creating! I hope you are able to come and see the artwork in person on Saturday February 11th, as every student will have something on display!☺
Here's a little preview...
Also... this month I put up an art display at the District Board Room. In the past students have received a letter and ribbon for being selected, but this year with so much of the artwork on display being digital copies (due to the Original Works fundraiser), the artwork was put up simply for viewing pleasure by those that have meetings in the board room. I have received lots of compliments and pictures were even posted on the District Facebook page! This is a compliment to the students and their many artistic talents. Way to go WL kids!☺
