Simply because my Wednesday class had an extra day before the last day of class for the summer, we did a fun, small, simple project that they could take home with them that day. Great way to finish off the class.

Summer Project 3 – Bead Writing
The idea of this project was for the kids to choose a word of their choice, decorate a long piece of wire with beads, and then form the wire to spell their word. That is only half of the project! Then, they had to decorate the backing for their word with other words that are related to their ‘bead writing’, using specific colors, all while focusing on pattern. It was a fun project! I think the kids would agree.

Project 2 – Wire Mache Sculptures
Very fun project and one that the kids took to heart. They really individualized their projects which always makes it fun. The construction of the sculptures was a simple process. We formed the figures out of wire, molding the shape we wanted the figure to take. Then, we built them up with aluminum foil to give them a little more ‘form’. To seal the deal, we used paper mache to harden the sculptures to help the hold their form. Once the mache had hardened, with the limit of using only three colors of paint (of their choice) the sculptures were decorated to their mind’s content. Take a look at how they turned out!
I thought this project was a success. The kids did great!

Summer Art 2010
SUMMER IS HERE!
The classes have begun, the projects are well under way, and the creativity is outstanding. Starting off the summer with Rock Art, the kids are coming out with some creative stuff. The two rules that were given for the subject matter was that it had to be something that is a part of your life, or something that you have a deep interest in. Look at what they came out with!

2010 Student Art Show
Thank you all for coming to the Student Art Show to commemorate the end of the year, and suuport your talented children and their fellow students. I am so very proud of all of their hard work that they put into their artwork this year, and feel that the year was a success all in all. I do recognize that ultimately I have the parents to thank for allowing me the opportunity to work with such a great group of kids, so thank you all.
Just to remind those who were able to come, as well as give those an idea of what occurred who missed out, there are a few images of the set up of the show.

Wrapping up the Year 2009-2010
What a fun year we have had! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with each of the children and getting to know them on a personal level. They each are unique, brilliant, and really added something special to my teaching experience from week to week. I thank each parent for allowing me the opportunity of working with them to the extent that I have been able.
To wrap up the year, I posted a picture of each student with one of their project that they completed with some being masterpieces in progress - cannot wait to see the finished product! I hope that this gives you an idea of what we have accomplished this year and know that these kids are on the road to success!
