Grade Two Penguins Are On Display! Yeah!


If you get a chance and are in the building at Heath Brook, stop by the display case near the front office and take a look at the "March of the Penguins".  Grade Two has done a wonderful job of creating three dimensional form in the shape of penguins and their habitats.  A lot of imagination and personal style is clearly evident throughout this display.  The students are always incredibly excited and enthusiastic when we use clay in the art room, 
and it sure does show!  Great job Grade Two!

The "Amazing Line" Strikes again!




Kinders are busy learning what the "amazing line" can do!  It starts out as a dot, and goes for a walk...it can swirl and twirl, zig and zag, wave, curl, skip, start, stop, dash, dot, and so, so, much more!  Put that together with patterns and shapes and why not make an incredible hot cocoa mug of your very own?  We were busy as ever in the art room with our wonderful creations, complete with cut out marshmallow shapes and 3D steam!  Hope you enjoy some of these awesome samples.   








This is a writing sample that coordinates with the art lesson.  
I love the end where it says the favorite part of the painting is the giant marshmallow!
