December Art Stars

Every month students' artwork will be selected to hang in the school's main office, conference room, and the library.  The artwork is selected based on the student's creativity, craftsmanship, and work ethic.  Here are our December Art Stars....

2nd Grade Art Show

For the 2nd Grade Art Show this year I chose to have an opening reception.  This allowed parents and their child to interact and discuss the artwork and view our digital artwork on the big screen.  I really enjoyed the evening myself, because I am usually in my room teaching while the Art Show is on display for parents.  I will be expanding this idea in the spring when I will host the 1st Grade and Kindergarten Art Shows.

Upcoming Art Show

The 2nd Grade will be having their Art Show in December 19th.  It will be on display all day in the school gym for anyone to visit.  This coincides with their music program that will also be taking place that day. 

Due to space and other limitations students are only able to have one artwork on display in the show.  Because of this I will be trying something new this year to create the opportunity to share artwork in a digital format.  On December 9th from 6-7pm, I will be hosting an Art Show Opening Reception.  This will allow my students and myself to share with you our artwork together.  At this time we will also have the opportunity to showcase artwork on the big screen in the commons.  Don't forget to save the date!  See you soon.

November Art Stars

Every month students' artwork will be selected to hang in the school's main office, conference room, and the library.  The artwork is selected based on the student's creativity, craftsmanship, and work ethic.  Here are our November Art Stars....

KPS Art and a DonorsChoose.org Project

from Miss Halter

Once again I am working with DonorChoose.org. to help create opportunities for my students and their artwork.  Last year they helped us with getting our 1st iPad for the Art Room.  This time around, I am trying to get a flat screen tv that we can use in the building throughout the year and also in conjunction with out Art Shows in the winter and spring to display our digital artwork.  This would enable me to be able to display more artwork throughout the year.  DonorChoose.org announced that my project is eligible for a matching offer.  This means that if we can raise just half of the needed amount an an anonymous donor will match our funds to help purchase the tv.  Just click here to visit our project on DonorChoose.org.

Thanks for your continued help and support.
