I am sure that all the mothers enjoyed receiving their lovely clay rose today.  We had a lot of fun making these.  It was a great experience for the students to work, once again, with the clay.  Many visitors to our classroom raved about how beautiful they looked.

I hope all of you had a lovely Mother’s Day!

In a continuation of our study of the Impressionist Masters, we looked at several “still life” paintings by Paul Cezanne.   Students then chose one of them to emulate in their own masterpieces.

We have these mounted on the back right-hand side wall of the gym.  Hopefully when you were at the Fine Arts afternoon or evening performances you had a chance to see them.  The students created the basis with oil pastels and then used paint to fill in the rest of the backgrounds.

I think they look lovely.  I hope you agree.
