April Showers Bring May Flowers...AWARDS...and Field Trips!








































The kindergarten through fourth grades have been studying great artists in the garden. Initially we looked at Vincent Van Gogh's iris' and sunflowers. Then students made comparisons to Georgia O'Keeffe's abstractions and gave her style a whirl. The second and fourth graders also took a peak into Claude Monet's garden--just wait until our ceramic lily pads come out of the kiln! We decorated the gym for the Spring dance and now the bulletin board outside the office is in full bloom. Many mom's will be delighted to receive flora that will never wilt this weekend!

FIVE award winning artists from Fairview have their posters on display at the Wisconsin Humane Society! We celebrated last Sunday afternoon at a wonderful ceremony.
CONGRATULATIONS TO:
Sarah, Autumn, Amanda, Quianna and Ryan
High Paws to the nearly 500 students who donated their posters for
Be Kind To Animals!

The art room has been going non-stop since spring break....new electives this quarter for the 7th and 8th graders are nearly half over! Photoshop is a hit with our new Dell Lab; I can't wait to post some of the work! Art Foundations and the 5/6 classes have some acrylic collage self portrait masterpieces that need a few finishing touches before I post them.

Permission slips went out for a variety of FREE Art Field Trips this week!
Please continue to support Market Days so we can continue to
