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!
