We have many new and wonderful teachers this year!
This week Ms. Jaeger’s Art Room continued a great start for the year! The Early Childhood Classes: Beginners, EK 1 and EK 2 started with learning how to hold a brush to make a variety of marks. It is amazing what you can do in thirty minutes! We compared the densities and mass of a large and small paintbrush. We used hand positions to make small movements, medium movements, and large movements. We danced and brushed, and tried many other techniques to develop our skills. We listened to Classical, Renaissance and Modern Music (post-WWII.) It was fun! In the Lower School, our First Grade continued to develop the linocut, as did the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. We are carving linoleum to make relief prints. We are working on imagery for the Harvest Fall Festival, and for the Postcards of Hope for Veterans project PBL. I believe the concept of Service to Others is an important one for our students to learn. In the future we will also make Postcards of Hope for the refugees in camps all over the world. The 5th also worked as an individual class to review and further develop his or her design and drawing concepts, skills, and techniques. Art History was taught in the context of the lesson. Welcome to Emani Secret, who will start next week as the Early Childhood Spanish Teacher. Also, welcome Andrea Gardner, the Early Childhood Music Specialist! We welcome all the new and wonderful teachers this year! |
