Some very special artists were chosen to represent Switzer at our annual District Art Show. It was nice to see families out and about enjoying the artwork at the weeklong show and I'm very proud of all of the creativity and artistic ability shown by the Switzer students who were chosen.

The fourth graders created these large flower compositions after learning about famous American artist Georgia O'Keefe. She created beautiful flower paintings that focused on one or two flowers stretching over the whole space of her canvas. Our goal was to create a large flower like Georgia O'Keefe using organic shapes, lines, and analogous colors to paint them in.
The fourth graders created these landscapes with a variety of lines and warm and cool colors. First we drew out our designs with a pencil. Then we traced over the pencil with black glue. When the glue was dry we painted in the spaces using warm and cool watercolor paint.
We wrapped up some of our fun reading month camp activities this week with tie dying in the art room. One student from each class who read their minutes for the week was chosen to come to the art room and tie dye a tshirt or a pillow case. It was a really fun hands on reward and I can't wait to see all of the tshirts and pillowcases after they have been washed.
The fifth graders created these pics pot frogs to show that they can create using forms, textures, and colors.

Mrs. W.About Me: This is my eighth year teaching art at Switzer Elementary. I see every K-6 student for art once a week. My goal during this time is to nurture students' creativity through exploring different art mediums and concepts. By exploring art, students will develop essential knowledge and skills that will prepare them for the future. Categories
