2nd-6th: In preparation for Valentine's Day, students will create a Valentine "LOVE" card based on a sculpture by contempary pop artist, Robert Indiana. Students will use crayons and markers to create 3-D lettering on a background of color.
All elementary students will also be given time to complete their free art project from last week.
January 30th-February 3rd
All classes will be doing "free" art for Catholic Schools Week. They will be presented with a variety of materials, including craft sticks, tissue paper, straws, rubber bands, coffee filters, baking cups, as well as drawing materials. They will use all these materials to make a finished art piece. They will be allowed to work individually or in small groups. Younger children will have fewer choices of materials.

Last week's foil project was delayed because we worked on our "world" service project project instead. This week, we will be working on a marker/die cut drawing and collage.
