Golden Hill PAX Leaders




TOOT  TOOT #2
Last weeks class TOOTLE was awarded to Ms. Onoforo's Fourth grade class!  This group of students has been playing the PAX behavior game, focusing on using self control while painting and clean up in the art room.  It has been a challenge, but their hard work and perseverance paid off as they were on the mark this week and PAX'd it up in my classroom!

I  am excited to award my first all class TOOTLE!  I am so proud to be a part of the Golden Hill Team and implementing the PAX behavior program in my art classroom.  Our Golden Hill school is working hard to all become PAX leaders.  A TOOTLE is a shout out to an individual or class that has demonstrated self control and set good examples of how to be positive role models for others.

Congratulations to Ms. Fahy's third grade classroom for earning a whole class TOOTLE!



This third grade group has been off the charts the last couple of weeks in the art room.  Their creativity has been exploding as they have expanded upon their learning of the artist Yayoi Kusama.   Ms. Fahy's class has explored how to combine realism with the abstract.  Once completing their unit study they enjoyed applying their learning to observational drawings and watercolor mono prints of leaves.
Keep up the creativity and exploration of the world around you!

ART OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM

Let’s keep the creativity flowing while we are away from school!!! Even though we may not be meeting once a week in my art room, my Golden Hill PAX Eagles, I wanted to put together some ideas of how we can extend what we have already been learning in the art room into where you are right now.  I have also created a few ART CHALLENGES for you to work on with your adults at home and any brothers or sisters that might want to help!  You don’t have to stick to the activities for your grade, feel free to give any of the following ideas a try over the next few weeks we are away! MATERIALS NEEDED? I say use whatever you can find.  I know in my art room I encourage all of you to use pencil first but if you have pens, markers, crayons, scissors to cut up magazines or junk mail, any of that will work.  If you have access to sidewalk chalk you can use sidewalks outside. Find a stick and try some of these ideas by scratching into the dirt. Get outside and find objects from nature

Fall Happenings in the Art Room

Happy Fall to everyone!  All Golden Hill Eagles have been busy eagles exploring a variety of media in the art room.  Here's a photo gallery and brief explanation of what all our PAX Eagles have been learning. Kindergarten:  PHEW!  Ask your littles about all the hard work their hands and fingers had to do to create these amazing paper bag Fall inspired trees.  We studied the parts of a tree and exhausted our finger muscles while twisting and TWISTING to create these lovely work of art!!!! Here are a few pictures of our fall art lesson using materials from nature.  I introduced our Kindergartners to the artist Andrew Goldsworthy who creates art with and out in nature.   Students had the opportunity to leaf print and explore building a temporary piece of art with pieces of nature collected from the beach.   Grade One:  ROY G BIV! What is this you ask?  Well think
