Our surprise for you should has probably come home by now. We were learning about texture so we painted with scrapers, trucks, and then added a handprint. We used colored paper and two different colors of paint, so the effect was neat. The students not only created texture using the scrapers and toy trucks, they also got to experience the texture of the paint on their hands. It was a fun lesson and the project looked cool too. A win-win!
This week we have been stain painting an abstract painting in the style of Richard Diebenkorn. Your student should be able to tell you that he created an abstract painting and what abstract means.
At the end of the week we will be moving into the studying pointillism and the painting of George Seurat. We will continue with this project the week after Thanksgiving.
As always I am blessed to teach your child. May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Week of Oct. 31
We finished the paper mache pumpkins last week! What I thought would be a two week project turned out to be a three week one. But the kids really enjoyed working on it from week to week. The pumpkins came out really cute and I'm sure they will grace your table from now until after Thanksgiving day.
In the Monday and Wednesday are classes we will be doing scratchboard art this week. Our Thursday classes have already experienced the scratchboard art, so they will get to begin on a new painting project. This project should only take one week--we will see. However, the project will be a surprise for you, so I can't reveal all that we will be involved. I only promise that you will love it!
Blessings,
Mrs. Cone
