All of the Art classes are bust finishing up projects and I'm busy preparing their work for the Art Show on May 15th and 16th.
The Kindergarten children are learning their 4th element of art- Texture. They are creating space robots with a variety of textures.

The First Graders were introduced to the artist Gustav Klimt. They are busy creating a painting that was inspired by Klimt's painting titled "The Baby".

The Second Graders were shown work by artist Wayne Thiebaud. The enjoyed his paintings of food, especially the desserts. They are creating their own paintings of desserts on fancy dessert stands.

The Third Graders learned why the man in Edward Munch's "The Scream" is not actually the one screaming. They are busy drawing their own scream picture.

The 4th Graders created their own Super Heroes using plaster, paint, felt, wire, feathers, and a variety of others fun materials. They are now completing a comic that stars their character.

The Fifth Graders have looked at work by American artist Roy Lichtenstein. They liked his comic book look to his paintings. We discussed how he creates a mystery around his paintings. They are busy creating their own pictures in his style along with a mystery.

As mentioned above, this year's Art Show is May 15th and 16th at Gibbs School. If you are interested in helping to mount or hang artwork please do not hesitate to email me at: mdolan@newmilfordschools.org .
