Activities for May

May starts with the celebration of Mother's Day on Sunday May 11.  Therefore we are going to dedicate the first week making mother's day cards.  

Additionally May is also dedicated as Haitian Heritage Month.  We are going to emulate artists in Jacmel, Haiti to get inspiration for our artwork.

During mid May we will prepare for Career Day by drawing about what we aspire to become when we grow up.

Toward the later part of the month we are going to explore the exciting world of comics, namely the Marvel world and create our own characters and comic books.

May's activities can be experienced through the Lesson section.  Enjoy!

Activities for April

During the month of April we will participate in the blue ribbon awareness contest (see the section Art Contests for details), we will explore the art of the master Joan Miro and imitate the papier mache style of children in Jacmel, Haiti (click on the Lessons tab for information).

More importantly, we will create all these projects while bringing down the SAT and FACT!!!

What an exciting month!

Activities during the month of March

Even though the month of March is going to offer only three weeks of activities because of spring recess (Yay!), it is still going to be packed with fun projects.

First and foremost we will be celebrating Women's History Month with the one and only Lady Liberty!  Our featured visual artist is Bartholdi.  We highlight sculpture as an art career. Check out this project's directives on the Lessons page.

Then we will continue with our poster contest listed on the Art Contests page.

On March 17 we will enjoy making St Patrick's Day related craft.  Check out our Lessons section for the surprise activity.

Last but not least we will celebrate the beginning of Spring by creating flowers, butterflies and frogs! The details will be posted by mid March on the Lessons page.

Happy month of March!
