Rolling Ridge Elementary Art

Today the artists from Ms. Robert's and Ms. Stith's class created a collaborative project. First the fifth grade artists created various coloring book pages. Then the first grade artists did their very best bring those drawings to like. A.B. said this about his work, "It looks pretty cool in my opinion." Then N.M. added, "The jelly fish and the whole coloring page is not done yet, but we are trying our best." N.M said, "It looks pretty."

Exploring new ways to create is always a fun challenge for our artists. Recently the Kindergarten artists took up the challenge of creating with masking tape. Tearing, turning and layering it to make their artwork.

One thing students in the art room get to experience is making puppets. Because it is one of my favorite things to create. This year the first graders learned about Swiss artist Paul Klee, and how he made puppets for his son using recycled parts. The artists created their own finger puppets and used upcycled parts for decorating.
