Artist Fan Letter
The Avella staff can now write 'Artist Fan Letters' to any student whose work they admire! Thank you Miss Songer for admiring my new winter board:)
Fifth Grade Birch Trees
Shadows aren't black???? The students learned that shadows are just a darker shade than the surface that they're on. I loved how these turned out. Nice work fifth grade!!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who bought carnations through the elementary Art Club! We are raising money to go to the Carnegie Museum and your support is very appreciated!
The importance of a sketchbook
Grades 2-6 all made sketchbooks this year. It is important for the students to sketch out their ideas before they work on their final drawing for many reasons. Students can determine what choices work and what designs do not through practice drawings. Grades 2-6 also will write several reflections throughout the year describing their art and the choices that they made.
Sketchbook Prompt: Draw a family self-portrait. Plot twist: it's a family of insects!!!
Sketchbook Prompt: How can we tell that stained glass is from the Renaissance era?
