Happy Valentine’s Day from the 4th and 5th graders at RJ Richey and the Fine Arts Studio! We were inspired by the work of Peter Max. Using brushes and paint on printing plates, we created heart prints that play with color. Enjoy!

Art and Science with Journey North
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Students in Science Club integrate Art and Science with their butterflies that they create the first day. These mini works of art are now on their way to Mexico by way of Minnesota with Journey North, a very special organization that serves to bring attention to the migration of monarchs as well as other species. It coincided with our discussion of the Bulldog Butterfly Garden located behind RJR, with its own rainwater cistern.
Back in Business!
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009I needed to reorganize my blog, adding categories and deleting pages… which I have now done! Now we can add comments to any post. In addition, some posts (like the wordles) are class specific so the new system works better for each class.
I am looking forward to more interaction on these pages now!

Abstract Art
Last week, we took construction paper of different colors, folded it and cut shapes. We colored each accordion pleat with crayons. We then mounted our folded paper abstract on another piece of construction paper.
I will add a slide show soon!
