All the Art Classes took home projects to give to parents and relatives. Each class learned about the presentation for a canvas. Most of the grades, K through 8th, attached D-rings and wire, and the Beginners and EK learned about this process. The EK learned more techniques in painting, and Ms. Jaeger demonstrated the effects and purpose of using these techniques. What Ms. Jaeger calls "throwing the paint" and then selectively wiping it off, was shown on two of Ms. Jaeger's five foot by four foot canvases. Ms. Jaeger is planning for the younger students to work large, and know how to approach his or her compositions on a large canvas. Ms. Jaeger also asked Ms. Jo to help with teaching Filipino dancing the last five minutes of class, and this was included in the list of techniques to help the arms direct the brush on large canvases. It was great fun! The First Grade practiced woodburning on small snowflakes, in order to learn the techniques. The 3rd through 8th Grades woodburned a drawing into planks of pine. They sanded and varnished the woodburned images. Learning about wrapping the gift, making a professional-looking yarn tie, notecard, and tissue flower was done. A PBL Project, the Postcards of Hope, continued on. This is the fourth year we have done this PBL. In the past, the Art Program has participated in many projects that involve the greater community of Anchorage and further. It will be a wonderful New Year! So many art projects to design and complete! We plan to be very busy, making meaningful projects that allow us to grow in many ways. The Art Program wishes you the best! Comments are closed.
