A tree grows in Brooks!

Well things have been growing here at Brooks. This tree developed out of the third grade's enlarged leaves project. I'm hoping to keep it up all year to demonstrate the changing seasons and display work. Every third grader made a leaf for the tree. Stop by and check it out.

Our Kindergartners took a trip to the pumpkin patch and are currently creating one on paper to practice tracing, learning shapes, and talking about size changes in perspective.

First grade have finished the apple trees are starting to learn about the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. They will be using concept from his art and Henri Matisse's to draw a lovely pet.

The Second graders are taking on Vincent Van Gogh. They are working on a vase with sunflowers.

In third grade we are talking about Harvest Moons and creating an image using the idea of positive and negative space.

Fourth grade has been studying Pop Art and creating eye catching color art inspired by artist such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

Fifth graders are finishing their study of native Americans by learning to weave on a loom and will be watching a presentation by Mrs. Stewart about spinning.

I hope you all made it out to the 5K last Saturday and saw the amazing pots by all of the students!

Have a great autumnal weekend!
