ART IS EVERYWHERE!
(here's a little preview of art at the Newfane School)
***Special Event***
Students built "krathong" boats in celebration of "Loy Krathong," an annnual celebration of water in Thailand.
Students constructed the krathongs at school and many gathered at the
Retreat Meadows on Friday evening to set them out onto the water with
reflection and well wishes about the health of our water.
Third through sixth graders learned about the work of Andy Goldsworthy and created sculptures outside on Newfane School grounds. Take a look at some of their inspired works. (We hope to do this project each season)

Kindergarten.
Check out our trees-- made by printing with a variety of tools: cardboard, sponges, and handmade rubber stamps.
Kindergarteners experimented with mixing "shades" of blue and then painted these beautiful waterscapes...
We
created our own creatures by picking a body part and then rolling die
to see how many our creature would have...they got pretty funky!
First and Second Grade.
We looked at the work of artist Jasper Johns and then painted these vibrant pieces!
First and Second Graders worked with clay and created these amazing "Birds in Winter" sculptures. Aside from using clay, they also used twigs, wool, fabric, and yarn.
Miss. Heidi's class learned about Chinese brush painting and created
these beautiful sunflower still lifes in the Chinese brush style.
First and Second graders created their own personal "logos"...can you guess the student artist?
Third and Fourth Grade.
Third and fourth graders learned block printing and created their own sea creatures. Then they created environments for their prints using watercolor and collage.
Check out the Third and Fourth graders' logos!
Fifth and Sixth Grade.
Fifth and Sixth graders got the chance to connect art and
environmental activism/awareness with this printmaking project.
They created prints with imagery that reminded them of water and then
crafted these "water" jugs, that include a "price tag" informing their
viewers just how much water they use in their everyday lives. This
installation will be exhibited at the Vermont State House in March in
celebration of World Water Day!
