Class was a blast today.  First we learned about Georgia o' Keeffe and looked at several of her paintings.  Then we used Air Dry crayola model magic to create a leaf or flower bowl in honor of Georgia O' Keeffe.  We had white clay so we had to color it with markers and work it in.  This was fun and I think it was easier to work with than traditional clay.  After coloring the clay, students shaped their clay, then some of them added details with markers.  They turned out fabulous.

***Please have students allow them to dry for 2 days before using.  Of course these are not to be used for food or drink.

Art Contest coming in April 23, the last day of school.

***Please get started on this and work on it over the next couple of months so that it is not a burden the last couple of weeks of school.

• This is a mandatory art contest.  It counts as a final grade.

• Each student will compete for a class prize and there will be another prize for 3-6th grade.

• Student's will submit only one project.

• Project must be no bigger than 3 feet by 3 feet.

• Projects can be created from wood, beads, clay, metal, blocks, paints, paper, cardboard, material, food or a combination.  This is to be fun so students should pick something that they are passionate about.

• If a drawing or painting on paper is done it must be framed.  Canvas does not have to be framed.

• Plans, patterns, directions, etc. can be used but students must make project with their own hands. (With the exception of Legos. Legos may be used but must be built without plans)

• Parents may help, but students must do the work.

• Patterns may not be used if Legos are used because it must be original.

• Photography may be entered but it must be framed somehow and it is a separate category with a separate prize.

• If a picture is created other than photography it must be drawn.  No animation copied from online and traced or glued.

• If a cake is made please keep in mind that we are only looking at presentation.  This will be an art contest and not a taste test.

• If  a robot or invention is made please remember we will not operate it, make sure that you focus on presentation.
