CHES Art

Thanks so much to all the families that came to support the arts last night!
So much fun❤️

This Thursday!! Two days away!

K practicing their 3d shapes with earth clay.

First graders improving the observational skills by drawing our school.
What a beautiful day!

2024 Tie Dye for field day!

It’s almost time for field day and I am so excited that art will play a small part. All Students will be making tie dyed shirts in art, which they will then be wearing to help bring class unity and fun to this exciting day.

Each student is responsible for bringing in a cotton white tee shirt (old or new) that can be dyed and a one gallon plastic zip lock bag the shirt can fit into.

Please bring the shirts in by April 29th.

The kids will be dying their shirts in art class the week of April 29th on their art day.
Day 3=4/29
Day 4= 4/30
Day 1= 5/1
Day 2 = 5/2

In less than two weeks every student will have art up in the hall for the show!
Can’t wait for y’all to see what great artist we have at Colonial!

Children’s hospital now has 9 pieces of art on permanent display from our Colonial Hills students!
This is what I love most about children’s art, the joy it spreads.

5th with their stuffed critters! They planned, cut patterns, pinned on attachments, threaded needles, sewed and some even learned to tie knots! They rocked this project❤️🤟🏼🔥

K working hard on fine motor skills to create GIANT scoops of icecream!

Third graders with their stitching projects❤️❤️

Photo dump! So much fun making art with the CHES students❤️❤️❤️

5th graders leaning about 1pt perspective (in November, I am so behind).

Fifth graders got the opportunity to go to the MAC (McConnell Arts Center) today for an orchestra performance, gallery walk and artist talk from local artist Marcus Blackwell.

Since we can’t touch the artwork in a gallery the kids posed by the pieces they liked the most.

I love the staff and kids at Colonial Hills so much. Here are a few gems from the past month. ❤️

4th and 5th graders have been thinking about “what lives on the forest floor”.?

Their sketches and finals are fantastic and magical so far. Many fairies and trolls apparently live in our ravine❤️

5th grade Andy Goldsworthy art in the ravine.

A few pictures from last week. ❤️❤️

New year, new playground equipment!!

May photo dump❤️👍

A few gems from the past few months!

Loved tie dying with all the kids last week! Can’t wait to see all the shirts on May 12th for field day.

Meet Mrs. Wedekind, our student teacher until the end of February, after which she will be leaning with a highschool teacher in Whitehall.

Mrs. Wedekind is a pk-12 art education major at OSU.

The kids have adjusted so well to having her in the art room, we all wish she could stay the rest of the year.❤️🥰

I own and rabbit and 2023 is the year of the rabbit!
Sometimes lesson planning is easy 🤟🏼❤️

Literally every first grader was this happy to take home their clay owls this week.❤️💓❤️

5th graders working on their one point perspective drawings.

Fourth graders adding the finishing touches to their self portrait this week.
They have worked so hard on these of the past few weeks.

I love teaching kids to sculpt with earth clay. Mindful, creative, craftsmanship and mess.

There is so much love put into these sculptures from these sweet little hands.

Art!!

Newspapers Needed.

If anyone knows anyone that still reads the dispatch please hook the art room up!
This stuff is gold for papier-mâché and covering the tables before we paint.
Also the kids do love reading the comics.
