The fifth graders had an awesome time using paper mache to cover a pizza box. After the paper mache dried, we were able to draw and paint directly on the cover of the box. It made a nice surface just like a professional artist's canvas. Our subject matter was enlarged flowers, after we learned about the famous american artist, Georgia O'Keefe. Students were able to blend colors to make tints and shades to paint inside their flower and make it look realistic. A very special thank you goes out to Jimmy at Little Ceasar's Pizza located right across from Switzer. He kindly donated all of the pizza boxes for the fifth graders to use and even included a coupon for free crazy bread for each student if they finished their painting. What an incentive! Six students were chosen to have their painting displayed in the District Art Show and they received a coupon for a free pizza! Visit Jimmy at Little Ceasar's for some yummy pizza and tell him thanks for supporting the arts at Switzer Elementary! It is located at: 53101 Shelby Rd.
