As the leaves begin to change and the crisp autumn air arrives, our art studio is buzzing with seasonal inspiration and creativity!
Studio Focus This Month: Collage & Painting 🎨
This month, we are diving into the colorful worlds of collage and painting! Students are learning how to layer different papers, textures, and materials to build unique compositions. They are also building skills by exploring brush techniques and mixing colors to bring their ideas to life.
Building Art Portfolios 📁
This year, students are starting to build their own art portfolios to track their growth. We are keeping physical portfolios in the classroom that will be brought home at the end of the school year.
Art at Home: September Drawing Challenge ✏️
Art does not have to stop at school! Attached to the bottom of this newsletter, you will find our first Monthly Drawing Challenge. These fun, optional prompts are a great way for your child to keep creating at home.
Talking About Art Everyday 👁️
Art is all around us! You can build your child's creative thinking outside of school by talking about the art, design, and visuals you see in your everyday routine. Try asking:
"Look at the illustration on this book cover/cereal box. Why do you think the artist chose those colors?"
"What do you notice about the shapes and designs on that building/billboard?"
"If you could redesign the packaging of your favorite snack, what would it look like?"
Thank you for supporting your child's creative journey!
Creatively Yours,
Sally A. Lucas
