Kindergarten Art

After several missed classes, the Kindergarten students finally had art again. We finished up the Chagall project and the work is now on display in the Montessori hallways. The students have shown great improvement on focus, control of materials and knowing the expectations of the art program. 

I did not want the youngest students to miss the opportunity to create with clay, so I adapted the curriculum to include a clay bowl project. They learned how to form, shape, score and slip discs together to create a nice sized bowl. The work will be fired in the kiln and the students will glaze the bowls with a food safe glaze. They are excited to make a piece of art they can use. Pat Carey-Bell and I checked all the work for any holes and found very few pieces that needed adjustment. I am so proud of the work they have created. 

On a separate note, your child will have a roll of artwork coming home today (Monday). This is a collection of several pieces created this year.  I have found that packing up and labeling student work is one of the hardest parts of being an art teacher. Thank you all for your patience in receiving their work.
