We have been getting A LOT of snow here, so second graders did some quick self-portraits of what they look like in a blizzard. Here are some super examples:
Happy New Year! I am going to start this year of posting with an awesome drawing that first grader Emelia made for me. Here it is: This has so many details that you have to look at it up close, but I love the sea monster, pirate ships, shark fins and underground tunnel! Thanks Emelia!
I have so much to share this month. Check back for the fifth grade tunnel book projects, fourth grade portraits, second grade figures in action, first grade pinch pots and kindergarten paintings. I have also begun working with the 3/4 class in the studio. We started sketchbooks. Here are a few examples of ideas beginning to sprout: I think we are in for a great year!
Welcome to the South School Art Studio blog! I am an art teacher at South School in New Canaan, CT. In the South School Art Studio, I make masterpieces and messes with hundreds of artists and designers in grades K through 4. My teaching emphasizes incorporating contemporary artists into our curriculum, material explorations and student-directed art making. This is a place where everyone can see what we are up to.
This blog is primarily for the PS 58 community. I hope that families will keep up with what is happening in the studio and with everything that we are looking at. I want to increase the home-school collaboration in the arts so that they become not just a once-a-week activity but part of the students' everyday lives. I hope it works!
