Mrs. Thompson's Art Class

Art to Remember is coming!  I will be sending home information soon.  In the meantime please to to http://www.arttoremember.com/keepsake-products to learn more.

¶  Kindergarten- Crazy Cactus

• This is a project is a continuation from before the break.  I hope to finish this up in the next week or so.  We have finished drawing, coloring and painting the cactus.  The parts that we need to complete are the needles and glitter.

¶  First Grade- Shimmering Foam Art

• We started this just before we left for the break.  This project is a lot of fun.  Media will include fun foam, glitter and paint.

¶  Second Grade-Mosaic Portraits

• Second Grade is dangerously close to finishing this project.  They are looking AMAZING!

¶  Third Grade- Blazing Banyan Tree

• This will be a new project we start this week.  Pictures will be posted later.

¶  Fourth Grade-Hugo Cabret

• As you know we started this project before the break.  I can’t wait to post pictures for you to see.

In our 4th grade Art sessions we are exploring the AMAZING art work of Brian Selznick.  He is the Author and Illustrator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret.  In class we are creating our own illustrations of a city skyline and then doing an overlay of a clock tower.  The inspiration for this came from the drawing you see above.  If you are able to purchase this book for your child, I highly recommend it.  I read it over the Thanksgiving break and fell in love with it.  The movie from the book titled Hugo is also in theaters right now.  However, I would read the book before you see the movie.  Enjoy!!!

Unfortunately Art Club is full at this time.  Any applications that are turned in at this point will be placed on a waiting list.  December 5th will be the last day to be added to the waiting list.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
