The past few weeks have been bittersweet! On Monday, we said farewell to the 8th grade students who are graduating and moving on to high school. Smyser artists have been creating some amazing pieces and reflecting on the past year.
1st grade students learned about Austrian artist, Hundertwasser (pronounce that with a German accent!). Students were asked to strike a pose as a forest explorer, and the photos were incorporated into a Hundertwasser style landscape complete with organic lines and funky shapes.
Third grade students are finishing a unit on Robert Indiana, and how his iconic pop art spread the message of peace, harmony, and love. Fourth grade artists learned chalk pastel blending techniques and the still-life art of American painter, Wayne Thiebaud. Students used parallel lines and angles to create a layered cake with lots of decorations. Thank you for all the birthday wishes on Friday, by the way! The upper grade students completed several neat projects which were all on display during the A Day and B Day Smyser Specials Showcase.
I hope all my students have a great rest of the school year! Great work this semester!!
