Join me on Friday, March 10 at Gallery 107 in downtown Seaford to celebrate the artistic talents of Seaford School District students. The artwork from a handful of very talented students from Frederick Douglass, as well as every school in the district, will be on display for the whole month of March. If you are unable to come to the opening reception between 5-6:30pm on March 10, we encourage you to visit the gallery during their regular hours to see the artwork on display. Gallery 107 is located at 324 High Street, Seaford. I hope to see you there!
The Dover International Speedway has invited Frederick Douglass Elementary school to participate in the Monster Mile Youth Nation Design Challenge. Each student in 5th grade is given a pace car template to design. The winning student's design is made into a real pace car to be used at the Dover Speedway Racetrack. Visit www.monstermileyouthnation.com for more contest details and to see what last year's winning car design looked like. Designs will be worked on during Art class during the month of March. I will send the designs to Dover by March 31. The winner will be announced in April. Good luck Fifth Graders!!!
The 3rd graders are finishing up with their sunset over the ocean paintings. Students learned how to draw different kinds of lines to create waves and how to blend colors to make a sunset out of pink, orange and red paint. Look for these projects to come home soon.
This week the 5th grade classes of Mr. Tingle, Mrs. Havrilla and Ms. Parker started a new project based on the Pop Art of the 1950's. They will be drawing soda bottles and coloring them in the style of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. If students in these classes have a specific type of soda they would like to draw for their final project, they are encouraged to bring an empty 20 oz. bottle to Art class the week of February 13-17. Students who aren't in these three classes are also encouraged to bring in a soda bottle as they will be working on this Pop Art project as soon as they're finished with Zentangle.
Report cards went home this week! I hope everyone finds their Art grade to be fair. If you ever have questions about my grading policy, please contact me. For your information, here is the rubric that is used by the Seaford School District Art Department for project grading.
