THE "ART"ICLE

The "Art"icle

Kinder, 1st & 2nd are wrapping up Fall Pumpkin projects. They are learning techniques for mixed media. K & 1st learned how to mix primary colors to create secondary colors in our color unit.

2nd grade is making starry night Pumpkin Patch Landscape collages!

4th & 5th are passionately working on their identity projects! 5th graders’ album art is very creative, and 4th graders’ personal coat of arms are coming to life! They will be tying their personal mission statements and/or Mottos into their artwork.

3rd graders from across the district will have their latest work featured at the AISD Performing Arts Center in the Humanities & Visual Art Showcase titled: “SLANG: Speak With Your Art!”

Students chose a slang word in their homerooms and wrote either a poem or its definition. Then in Art, they have been illustrating their word in Graffiti/ Street Art styles. Their personalities are really showing with this project! Slang will be displayed from Nov. 10- Dec. 8! Viewing Hours: 8am-5pm, M-F. (The PAC will be closed during Fall Break.) Thank you for checking out the show if you are able.

Congratulations to our amazing Geckos!
