BEADS AND FORMS!




KINDERGARTEN COMPLETED THEIR CLAY FORM BEADS TO MAKE BEAUITFUL NECKLACES! STUDENTS LEARNED WHAT SCULPTURE, 3D AND CLAY ART WAS IN THIS LESSON.


5th Grade completed their Chihuly lesson with Flying colors! ( no pun intended!) They made beautiful sculpture art that resembled Chihuly's famous glass work, by recycling left over lamination. These are some pictures of students at work.


MAPs!

We are looking to use MAPS for our next 1st grade self portrait project. If you have anyone stuck under the seats in your cars or in closets... please bring them in to be recycled and used for art!

On March 9, 2010 CWS will be holding our first ever career day. All grades will be participating in this full day event. We are still looking for volunteers to come and speak about their interesting carrers for the AM part of the day. If you know someone who would be interested, please email me: hollern@fultonschools.org, with a name and contact info such as email or phone number.
We are looking for any careers... such as community helpers, business careers, art careers, legal and council career, public safety, non-profit, or anything that would correspond with the curriculum of the students, etc.
Happy New year!! We are excited to get back to teaching as the second half of school starts. All the students will be focusing on Sculpture techniques, learning how to build, form, construct, and sculpt art!
