2. A more open display with our new metal panels that allow the light and color to show.

3. QR codes that link you directly to this blog to read about your child's art and how they made it.

Please stop by this week: Wednesday night is Elementary night. Thursday is the Middle School night.

Welcome to the 2015 Fine Arts Festival!

Thank you for coming to share in this great week with us. We have music, drama, and artwork here to share with you.

Wood boards we previously used.

Our new metal panels!

There are a couple of changes that you may have noticed. First of all the black boards have been replaced by our new metal panels, hopefully these will provide a more spacious feel for the show.

Since you are viewing this you may have discovered our QR codes throughout the elementary and middle school displays. The codes were added to provide background information on projects that you are viewing. Hopefully this can make your viewing experience more enjoyable.

Its all set up! The ES and MS have about 900 or so pieces of art for you to enjoy!

Please feel free to browse the gallery and the blog. I hope to see you during the show.

Kindergarten Project: Line, Pattern, and Color

Students begin by tracing a circle ant then use our 6 basic lines to divide up the page. Next we add patterns of the students' own choosing. Using pattern sheets, students are asked to use different patterns to fill the sections on the outside of their circle.

Once the drawing is complete, students will outline their pencil work in black crayon to protect the lines from paint. The crayons will provide a wax-resist against the water activated tempera paint.

For the last step students will divide the space inside their large circle and divide the space with their favorite of the 6 basic lines. This area will be outlined with black crayon also but then students will be given pastels to color this inner portion.
