READY, SET, GOGH!

Spring is in the air! The flowers are blooming everywhere and Van Gogh’s famous sunflowers are inspiring artististic bloom in the art classroom. Van Gogh is such a fun artist to study because just one artwork covers so much...color, value, texture, and personal expression. First and second grade are creating mixed media still life pieces that include texture as well as bright colors, both trademarks of Vincent’s work.

Third grade is half way done with their expressive self-portraits that will be on display for their tour of the TRAHC building. Fourth grade is finishing up their tree weavings and getting ready for Gogh time.

Fifth grade is embarking on a surreal weaving journey. Sixth and Seventh are combining the techniques of Michaelangelo and Van Gogh in our attempts to divide and conquer ceiling tiles in artistic fashion.
