Op Art! Art that tricks the eye (optical=eye)

8th graders made this lumpy, bumpy, moving art that looks like it is coming off the paper! What does it remind you of?

Artwork by No-Name? (save me the trouble of memorizing everyone's artwork and write your name on the front!It has been a struggle to break the habit of writing our names on the back of artwork. Every art teacher has their own preference and I prefer the FRONT :-) Be proud, show off your signature)

Dove for Respect (Polite and Peaceful)

A dove is to symbolize "Respect". Doves are usually a sign of peace, and if everyone is respectful, we will have peace.

For our Grandparent Celebration last month, we decorated the lunchroom with a clothesline. Our clothesline is very special because the details of the clothes are drawings of our grandparents and stories about why we love them so much. It was a team effort. Some classes cut the clothes, some decorated them, and others pasted on the details. Each class helped making the paper chains, streamers, and paper flowers. Together we made the lunchroom very colorful.

The Kindergarten and 1st graders helped by coloring in our sign that said "We love our Grandmommy and Granddaddy!"
