Art With Ms. Kelly

Watershed Art Design for StreamTeam Earth Day competition: Students reviewed information about watersheds and their importance to our environment. All the students did a great job creating their own landscape drawings and/or paintings of a watershed. I submitted their artwork to Clark Public Utilities StreamTeam art competition which sponsors Earth Day on April 20. I’ll let you know if any of our students win a prize, and I’ll pick up the artwork after Earth Day and return it to the students. 

Art with Miss Karen: The students used oil pastel and colorful ink to make a beautiful design with their hand print and patterns.

Japanese Cherry Blossoms: The students made some lovely paintings of cherry tree blossoms in Japan, using cardboard scraps, q-tips and paint brushes. They learned about the gift of 3000 cherry trees from Japan to our nation’s capitol in 1912. These are on the bulletin board at school.

Have a wonderful spring break!
