Dixie Classic Fair 2014

We are always excited in the fall for the Dixie Classic Fair Art Exhibit.  This year, we had 23 students with art work in this show.  All grades were represented from kindergarten through fifth grade with a variety of art from still-life drawings to paper masks to non-objective designs and gadget printing.

2nd Graders: Printmaking

Second grader artists are currently exploring printmaking techniques like Gadget printing.

Art Studio Incentives

In the beginning of the year, each class helps me make a list of rules and expectations for the artroom. They are also involved in reviewing expectations about their work, behavior, cooperation, and attitude in the classroom, related to the "CHAMPS" model. Once the guidelines are set, classes that follow the guidelines earn a Crayon Award each time they come to art. They save the awards on their Crayon Box Poster. When a class earns 25 awards, they celebrate. Ms. Green's 2nd grade class was the first class to earn 25 crayon awards.

On Wednesday, April 14, Ms. Green's 2nd grade class celebrated their hard work and good behavior with refreshments and a game of Win-Lose-or-Draw.

2nd Graders in Progress

Second grade students recently finished a unit on printing or printmaking. They discussed patterns and repetition in art work. They became more familiar with printing techniques and began to look at color schemes, particularly thinking about complimentary colors.
