ECC — We are finishing up our adorable Polar Bear Masks

Kindergarten — This week we are working on our DayTime/NightTime pictures.

Grade 1 — We are busy keeping warm and getting ready for Valentine’s Day by making our Shades of Red Magazine Collage.

Grade 2 — With many students out of school last week due to illness we will finish up our Bark Paintings.

Grade 3 — Third Graders will take a Tour of our church’s beautiful stained glass work.  There are many different designs, artists and techniques we will learn about before we complete our own Stained Glass Drawings.

Grade 4 — Last week our class learned all about Michelangelo’s life and work. Now it’s our turn to try our very own Watercolor Fresco paintings!

Grade 5 — We will turn our Rorschach Blobs of colored paint into a wonderful, creative image using black sharpie markers. It’s all about using your imagination!

Grade 6 — I’m so proud of this Sixth Grade class for working so diligently on their Masterpiece Mosaic drawings.  It takes a great deal of patience to cut out squares of color and glue them onto a creative design or image.

Grade 7 — Weaving, weaving and more weaving!!!  One of the most popular art projects that is so well-liked by our Trinity Seventh Graders!  Students will be learning about weaving terms and how to weave on a cardboard loom.

Grade 8 — Fingerprint Frenzy in the Art Room!!!  No, it’s not forensic science it’s just a bunch of Eighth Graders using their fingerprints to design a whimsy, colorful cartoon.  I can’t wait to see what this year’s classes come up with.

Art Elective — Our art elective students are busy forming and building out their wire armature sculptures using foil wrap, newspaper and masking tape.  This week we will use plasticine celluclay to mold and harden our forms.  After the sculptures dry we will be painting on details with tempera.

Keep Creating and Keep Warm!
