Kon'nichiwa! A New Year in the Art Room

We are now into our second week of school and are starting up some really great projects I'm excited to share with you! First though I thought I'd give you an official look around my newly designed art room!

This year Woodland students will be traveling throughout parts of Asia in art class.  We will learn about famous artists from these countries, as well as traditional arts and crafts. To start students will be learning about Japan. Students will notice little touches of this island country throughout the room, such as our color wall being in English and Japanese.



For the first week all the upper elementary students (3rd through 5th) are creating sketchbooks that we will use throughout the year. I'm calling them our artist passports. While lower el created passport photos (self-portraits). As we jump into our second week students are working on printmaking, watercolor, origami and much more. Stay tuned for more updates!
