Another suggestion: saving student work

Parents, I hope you have had a chance to look at your child's art portfolio from this year. During the last week of school, I posted a few ideas for saving favorite pieces, and I just came across this idea I had pinned from Pinterest that might just be the ultimate! (Original post here) If you have a scanner and printer, this collage is a space saving way to keep it all!

Announcing the Digital Photography Club!

Starting this fall, Mrs. Teagle and I will once again team up for another year of technology based art in the afternoon! Taking the place of Computer Art club, the Digital Photography club will be open to 5th graders in the fall semester and 4th graders in the spring. We will focus on using a digital camera to create interesting compositions - nature photos, artistic still lifes, portraits - and creating an album and an online gallery of our images. We will also learn about important photographers in history, such as Ansel Adams, Andy Goldsworthy, and Sandy Skoglund.

Look for more information this fall!
