Art Class Updates

It's the beginning of week two of Full Circle Art! Last week was great, I really enjoyed meeting all of the children in my classes, they were awesome to be around. Last week we talked about Dale Chihuly who is one of my favorite artist. We made our version of Chihuly's Macchia bowl, I hope your child was able to tell you how we made it and a little something about Chihuly when they got home! 
I showed them this video so they had an idea of what making his art looks like. I also sent home Drawing Challenge notebooks to give the kids an opportunity to draw everyday, this should be a fun activity that they look forward to - no stress, just some pictures!! 

This week we will be talking about the artist Wayne Thiebaud and experimenting with chalk pastels. We will create our version of one of his many dessert artworks and watch this video that talks about his art's perspective and what we should notice about it. It's going to be a fun week!
Thank you for supporting Full Circle,
Melanie
