Art

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

Leonardo da Vinci (artist of the month)

Welcome to St. Elizabeth’s Art Program.  We are looking forward to another successful year of exciting children’s art created by your talented students and engaging classes taught by Rosa Barrientos (PK and Kinder), Monica Connelly (3^rd and 4^th), and Anne Shelton (1^st, 2^nd, 5^th, 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th).

Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten
We are busy in ART CLASS – We have learned all the wonderful things about lines and what they do. Lines can be straight, curvy or zig-zag and lines define shapes. I hope you have enjoyed looking at our lines project with water colors. We will be focusing on shapes and a city collage for the remainder of the quarter. We are having fun!

3^rd and 4^th grade students are off to a fantastic start. The students started by designing their own personal portfolios to house all their wonderful art projects, and they look awesome! Students started reviewing the basic elements of art – line, shape, form. Focus for September is ancient coins Students have designed from research and created ancient coins, using modeling clay and learned techniques. We are off to a great start in Art and we’re really looking forward to future projects.

The 1^st and 2^nd graders will be introduced to the technique of creating Molas.

The 5^th and 6^th graders are learning the art of making Tessellations.

The 7^th and 8^th graders are learning the art of stained glass and will be creating their own stained glass creation.

We are excited about the opportunity to get to know you, and we’re looking forward to a happy and productive school year. Again, we sincerely thank all of you for your help and support in creating a successful art program at St. Elizabeth.
