Art Is Everywhere!

The Anderson 2010-2011 Yearbooks are finally here! The yearbook staff of very dedicated 5th Grade students worked for 5 months to put together this fantastic book. This is a picture of our cover and the Yearbook Staff page. Good Job and Thank You for all the hard work.

Yearbooks will be distributed to all students the last week of school on Tuesday May 31st during their specials time.

4th Grade Paper Chinese Dragons

Fourth Grade learned about the legends of Chinese Dragons. Each student then made a paper head and tail for their dragon. After that bodies were constructed using an accordion paper folding technique. Super Fun!

2nd Grade clay beads and medallions

Second grade is making bead and medallions out of clay. Stayed tuned to see the beautiful necklaces they make when complete.

5th Grade Creates Recycled Art

Fifth Grade worked on creating a recycled art project for the PTA Council's recycled art project. We took used water bottles and created a recycle trash can out of them. Lot's of fun and environmentally conscientious too!

Kindergarten paints Picasso style portraits

Kindergarten is creating portraits in the style of Pablo Picasso. They are using his ideas of abstraction to create really fun and brightly colored designs. Art can be beautiful and silly at the same time. Way to go Kindergarten.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful holiday break. Welcome to the 2011 school year Anderson Artists and families. Check back often to see all the cool projects we will be making this semester. I can't wait to get started!!!!!!!
