What’s happening at the Mountain View Art Studio?
Kindergarten students are learning about balance this spring by studying masks from many cultures. We will be looking at symmetrical balance and asymmetrical balance. Making their own masks will give students a chance to understand how balance works in their own art.
Students in grades 1-5 are working in the studio with most of our centers open. Architecture center has been a big hit as students learn to manipulate the straws and connectors in all new ways. The new Colorado standards are being introduced to students now before they are fully implemented in the fall. Looking, Connecting, Making, and Thinking are the behaviors we are focusing on in the art room. 2nd grade is working on a weather unit in art to connect to the work they have done in the classroom as well as the music room. Fourth grade is making clay animals with modeling clay that they have invented as they learn about life zone adaptations. We hope to use these to make claymation movies before the year is over.
Congratulations
To the 27 student artists whose work was displayed at the 31st annual Broomfield Community Center Student Art Show. The reception was March 9, 2012, and students who attended received ribbons and had an opportunity to see art that other students in Broomfield are making.
