Spring is here!

Spring has arrived at Armstrong Elementary! The kindergarten classes have just finished up creating lily pads after studying Claude Monet and his lily pad ponds. The students used cool color paint to make the lily, then cut and glued a warm color flower in the center. Next, they glued the lily to the center of the class 'pond'. There are 5 ponds currently hanging all around school.

Art show taken down

Today we took down the spring art show for 2010. June will be Mill Pond's month for displaying artwork on the 3rd floor of the Forbes Building.
In the meantime, 6th grade has been printing shell images cut from linoleum, 5th grade is drawing the interior of the art room, the 4th grade has been finishing up some Australian Aborigine bark paintings, 3rd grade has finished their landscape paintings, 2nd grade made clay pizza (to be displayed in the glass case at Armstrong), 1st grade is currently finishing their self portraits, and Kindergarten has been making Claude Monet water lily ponds.
It has been a busy spring, next week will be some images of these new projects!

Kandinsky at WAM

This painting was made by a first grader from Armstrong Elementary. It is currently hanging at the Worcester Art Museum for the month of March as a part of the Youth Art Month display. The artist, Kandinsky, was the influence for this piece. The students studied his work and how to mix warm colors, then cool colors.
