Students in third grade learned about famous American artist, Georgia O'Keefe before making these clay flower bowls. We focused on using organic shapes for the bowl and creating textures to make them look like real flowers. After the bowls were bisque fired, students were able to glaze them with a variety of colors.

Students from all over the district presented their artwork at the annual K-12 Fine Arts Festival held at Ewell elementary this year. I was very proud to hand pick several amazing artists from Switzer to represent our school. It was great to see students and families supporting the arts on opening night and other times throughout the week. Here are some photos of Switzer students next to their creations.
The third graders worked on warm and cool hearts in the months of february and march. Students used a variety of lines inside and outside a heart shape. After the lines were outlined in black paint, students were able to paint the various shapes in with warm or cool colors so that the heart would stand out from the background.

Students learned about tints when they painted the background for their spooky cat silhouette. We started with white paint for the moon and then blended it with yellow and orange to create a glowing effect on our papers. The spooky cat and tree were drawn after the background was dry. Students then painted their drawings with only black to create a silhouette.
