Cute Kinder holiday cards!

We made some super cute holiday cards in Kindergarten this week. We learned about printmaking and made some wonderful prints using styrofoam. I love these little cards!

First Grade Poinsettas

In First Grade we are studying Mexico, so we learned about a flower that comes from Mexico, the Poinsettia. We read the book, The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie DePaola. They turned out wonderful!

Inuit Snow Goggles

Because we are studying the Inuit People in third grade, we made some amazing snow goggles based off of the ones they would use to shield their eyes from the reflections on the snow. We added fur and other great details. This project was so fun!

Art Advocacy Night 2010

We had our Beverley Taylor Sorenson Art Advocacy Night on Wednesday. It was such a fun night and it was great to have such wonderful support from our community. We did a few performances and ate some cookies and celebrated the opportunity our school has to participate in the arts. Many thanks to all those who participated and attended. What a great night!

Fifth grade colonial silhouettes

These turned out so great this year. This is one of my favorite projects. We learned about colonial time and the silhouette art they made to do portraits of people. We made our own modern silhouettes. Check them out!

Fourth grade coil pots

We have been doing a ton of clay projects here at summit. Here are some coil pots we made and painted in Fourth Grade this month.

Storytelling sculptures

We learned about Hopi artist Helen Cordero and her wonderful storyteller sculptures in third grade. We then created our own sculptures that told a story.

First grade paper sculptures

We talked about sculptures in First grade and made our own paper sculptures. We had such a great time doing this we didn't want to stop!

Leaf line drawings

We created these colorful leaf line drawings in second grade this week. We learned about organic and geometric lines, and why leaves change color in the fall. We did a great job!

6th grade greek pottery

We learned about Greek red and black figure pottery in 6th grade and made our own scratch art. We used oil pastels and acrylic paint, and soon figured out that tempera paint works best! We had fun anyway!

Unique Utah

We are studying Utah in Fourth grade so we will be experts by the end of the year! In art we focused on what makes Utah unique, and then we drew what we brainstormed in oil pastels. These are wonderful! We have such talented fourth grade students!

Dia De Los Muertos Sugar Skulls

We made these great Sugar Skulls to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos, or the Mexican holiday similar to our Memorial Day. It was super fun! Too bad they weren't actually made out of sugar!

Kindersculpt!

As we are learning about the Statue of Liberty in Kindergarten this year, we decided to create our own sculptures and paint them. I love all of the creative sculptures and their bright colors!

Pottery Pumpkins

In Fifth grade we are learning about Native Americans, so we created our own Native American pottery pumpkins. They turned out great!

There's a monster under my bed!

In Fifth grade we read the book There's a Monster Under My Bed! and created our own awesome matchbox beds and monsters to go underneath out of clay. We had so much fun!

First grade ice age drawings

Our first graders are learning about the ice age, so we learned how to draw awesome woolly mammoths! Check out our detailed ice people!

5th grade fruit metaphors

Our fifth graders wrote fruit metaphors in Language Arts, and so in art we got to paint the fruit we wrote about.
