I am very excited to start my second year at Holy Family School! Check back or subscribe to see updates of what the students are working on in the Art Room! As I'm sure you can imagine I have many things planned for the students this year. I hope everyone is ready to work hard, create and have some fun! Be sure to check "What is The Art Teacher Working On?" to see posts and images of my own artwork.

Festival of Trees 2015
The students and I are preparing for The Festival of Trees at the Lehigh Calley Airport. About 20 schools including Hoku Family have a tree inside the airport that was donated by local tree farms. Each school created ornaments and then decorates their tree for the commuters to see while traveling for the holidays. Our Advancement Director Mrs. Hart is looking for parent volunteers to decorate and then "undecorate" the tree. Email Mrs. Hart if you'd like to help.
Here is a tiny preview of ornaments each grade is working on.
4th grade -- Building and painting sleds
6th grade -- Giant paper snowflakes
The students really got excited about this one!
Each snowflake starts by folding, cutting and flying to make 6 pieces like the one below. The first piece was tricky, but after the students accomplished making one piece they really got the hang of it!
7th grade --- Rolled paper cones declaring the shape of your choice
8th grade-- 3D paper ornaments in the shape of your choice 4th grade Oil Pastel Pumpkins
I am so excited to share them pumpkin drawings 4th grade completed using oil pastels. We worked hard to blend colors to make the pumpkins look realistic. The students even surprised themselves, they were so pleased with the finished products.
These are on display in the hallways and I think I'll have to save them for our Art Show in April!
