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!
These Georges Seurat-inspired works are super cool!!! My FAVORITE memory of these works is that you were all looking at REAL trees on campus. YAY! Watching you create your beautiful works brings me so much happiness. Can you tell???!!! XXOOO

Way 2 go, kindergarten students!
You all did a fine job creating your colorful papers for your Eric Carle works: mark making, drawing, cutting, tearing and gluing... Now it's time to rest and enjoy time with friends and family. Happy spring break! - Mrs. Keefer
