Art and Ambassador Agenda for February 10-14, 2014

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents that have donated to the art room’s recycle program. I am still collecting rectangle shaped baby food containers (plastic with lids), butter type dishes, yarn and fabric scraps, and misc. art supplies (your left overs!). Feel free to send any clean, reusable items with your child to the art room. Thanks again for all the past donations.

Grade K- Color Video and“I Love Colors” book with experimental color mixing.

Grade 1- Indiana Connection- Raggedy Ann and Andy Unit.

Grade 2- Matisse DVD and start of Matisse unit.

Grade 3- Rene Magritte, Surrealist Artist  (new Unit) Magritte’s Birds and Michelangelo DVD.

Grade 7- Picasso Style Self-Portraits and Rope Yarn Baskets (Students may be interested in bringing their own yarn in. I do have yarn but color selection is limited.)

Grade 8- Watercolor Methods DVD with worksheet listing 20 facts.

Any 8th grade student that has not brought in their Poly fiberfill for pillows needs to bring in in this week. Many students “borrowed” from art room stock and need to replace the filling they used.

Ambassadors will be meeting on Wednesday, February 12th, in the art room, at 7:40. Due to last week’s snow day, Ambassadors are working on the third lesson on Respect and will be teaching after Mass Wednesday.
