Art News
KDG students have been studying about the differences between 2 dimensional (drawings, paintings, etc.) and 3 dimensional art (sculptures). Enjoy looking for 2-D or 3-D art with your child in your home or other places throughout the week. 5th graders are currently working on a collage assignment. Ask them about the supplies they have been using to create their art and what they think makes a great collage! 6th grade students have been drawing realistic shoe drawings. Ask them about how they show value using only a pencil. Be sure and check out the art gallery site on our schools homepage!
