Summerside 5th graders are learning about texture and value. No better way to practice than drawing the new West Clermont mascot-Wolves. Students learned step-by-step how to draw the shape of their wolf, added its hair texture and pressed harder with their pencil to shade in areas to make it look more realistic. Great effort was shown and there was great success for first time drawing a wolf!

Kindergarteners at Summerside Elementary participated in International Dot Day which celebrates creativity around the world by reading "The Dot," by Peter Reynolds. The story encourages students to "make your mark and see where it takes you!"
Kindergarteners enjoyed using watercolor paints on coffee filters to make their own unique dots. Each child's artwork was put into a class mural and is currently on display in the hall at Summerside. Pictures above are of Mrs. Setter's class from yesterday. Mrs. Gebauer's 2nd graders at Summerside Elementary built their own cities today in art class after looking at Cincinnati's skyline. They learned the art of paper collage to design their skyscrapers and add beautiful details. I loved hearing about what they wanted to include in their cities. I think we have some feature architectures in this bunch!
I joined Twitter today as another way to share the wonderful and exciting things we are doing in elementary art at West Clermont. Please follow me on Twitter @MoWilliamsArt
The white hallways at Summerside are now full of great, colorful student art work. Each grade level did a project based on line, our element of art this rotation. Line can create patterns, intricate designs and show movement! Line is truly a building block to creating art! Mrs. Hayden's 2nd graders at Summerside Elementary were excited to show off their finished Pattern Line Cats today in art today. What a fantastic job creating line and color patterns! Meet our class pet, Larry the Line (a stuffed rattle snake). He has been visiting the younger grades to demonstrate the 3 different directions a line can go (horizontal, vertical and diagonal). He also is a great visual to show how a line has a beginning point (his nose) and an end point (his tail). When a student gets a correct answer he rattles his tail. He's been a huge hit here in the art room!
Mrs. Cann's second graders at Summerside just finished their pattern cats today! They learned a new way to draw a cat by following directions step-by-step. We also discussed line, our element of art for this rotation. They learned they could create a line pattern by repeating various lines over and over within their cats. Markers and crayons were used to add color. Way to go second grade! These are some fancy cats!
Mrs. Feldkamp's 3rd graders at Summerside Elementary just finished their first art project. They did an awesome job creating a sunset using various types of lines. They had fun using watercolor paints to add color. Great job 3rd grade! I can't wait to brighten up our hallways with these beautiful paintings.
