Smart with Art Classes - K-6

Dear Parents,

Mrs. K and I have decided to team teach our Monday classes since we have 20 artists.   Your child will have both of us as teachers each and every Monday.  Class is from 3:40-4:40.   Mrs. K and I will also alternate teaching grades 3-6 on  Fridays.   Please scroll down to see the 3-6 grade amazing Warhol cats.


Today we studied about, African-American Artist, Romare Bearden.  Many art historians consider Bearden to be one of America’s most important and inventive artists of the 20th Century . Bearden loved collage, combining painting, magazine clippings, old paper and fabric together like a jigsaw puzzle.   Bearden was inspired by music, he loved Jazz.

Students  created their own Bearden-esque collages.    We will have a chance to continue to work on these Friday (for the 3-6 grades) and next Monday (for the K-2 grades).   We will also be beginning a new art lesson.
Here are some of our finished  (K-2) pieces and some of our works in progress.  More pictures to come!
