Celebrating A New Year
Even though we are in the middle of our school year, we can still celebrate and enjoy the start of a new year. 2013 brought us a lot of great surprises and new supplies. Here is a list of the best things 2013 had to offer for the KPS Art Room.
1. Our iPads! The students are always waiting and ready for a turn; eager to create digitally. With the addition of a 4th iPad students won't have to wait quite so long in between turns.
2. The Kiln! While we have been doing clay for the last few years here at KPS it will be so nice to have our very own kiln to use at school. A BIG thank you to our PTA.
3. Mrs. Reger and Del, our Custodian! I am always trying to find new ways to display and share student art throughout the building. Mrs. Reger has been so supportive when it comes to finding places to display and permanently install artwork to add a touch of creativity throughout the building for our students, teachers, and the community to enjoy.
4. All things sparkly! Several years ago I found glitter crayons for my students and they were an instant hit. This year I purchased sparkly paints to try. They disappeared in just a few weeks. Next year, I will make sure to stock-up so we don't run out again.
5. Art Shows! Every Grade Level gets their own Art Show throughout the year. This is a great time to showcase artwork and share our artistic experiences with out family and friends. Each time we do an Art Show, I say to myself; this is the best show yet! And then the next show comes along and it is even better.
6. Creativity and Imagination! Without creativity and imagination, art would be a pretty boring place to be. My students and I really appreciate everyone's support in letting creativity flourish!

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.
