Love your use of color. What a fine tree! Love you, Mimi -- Nancy

FIRST GRADE students enjoyed their art time outside on our beautiful campus grounds (en plein air). They were asked to draw one special tree, and "not a broccoli." Afterward, students were expected to create their own greens and browns vs. taking the easy route and plopping their brushes into the ready-made paint! The works were filmed in progress during our plein air sessions and also while students were painting indoors. These are complicated works that required observing nature in a three-dimensional environment and visually translating what students observed into a two-dimensional representation! The e-portfolios while in progress are available on my Twitter account @RuthKeefer and also on YouTube (Ruth Keefer art). These delightful landscapes from our own campus would make memorable note cards and/or gifts for your friends and family. Thank you for supporting ParishArts! I would love to take all of these works home with me!

I am so impressed with your beautiful works, first graders! GO HAVE SOME SUMMER FUN ;) Love, Mrs. Keefer

WOW! Is this you? Good job. Mimi -- Nancy

A special thanks to Tulasi's mom for the multi-cultural talk on Rangoli-Mandala during the holidays! Also thanks to Tulasi's mom for donating all of the beans! Wow, we are lucky to have so many loving parents dedicate their time and talents to our K-2 fine arts program, and this is a great example! First graders, you TOTALLY rocked your fine motor skills on these works!
