At the beginning of March, we sent over 30 pieces of artwork to the Fate of the Earth group on the campus of MSU for their annual symposium. This was the first year, they had a request for student artwork. Only 18 pieces were selected to be published and eleven selected were made by WCS students! From 1st grade to 12th grade WCS was represented with a fabulous array of artwork depicting animals and their environment. The artwork was started at school and in many cases finished or recreated at home. Thank you to all who submitted and congratulations to those that were published. This will be one to add our agenda for next year.
On Friday, March 9th, we hosted our annual Kids-N-Clay Art Show along with the PTSA Family Reading Night which had a great turn out. Thank you for all who came, your support is really appreciated. Students worked for several weeks on their ceramics projects and display spaces for this opportunity to share with family and friends. Here is a list of what was created this year for the show: Young Fives - Evergreen Trees and Volcanoes (Natural History Museum coming soon) Kindergarten - Ceramic Self Portraits or Selfies with a crayon resist and ink wash 1st Grade - African Animal Pinch Pots 2nd Grade - Coil Pots 3rd Grade - Dogs, Cats, and a Couple of Fish 4th Grade - Bobble Heads from the 1990s 5th Grade - Ceramic Pottery - Artist's Choice: Pinch Pot, Slab Pot, or Coil Pot The results speak for themselves. Check out the awesome artwork that can be seen in the Library until next week. Then it will be wrapped and sent home. 1st Graders are learning about African Animals and will be creating painting that will be pulled together into a poster collage to sell to family and friends. The money raised will go to an African animal conservation group for the purchase of helping protect and save these animals. The animals we are learning how to draw and paint are the Lion, Giraffe, and Elephant. Check out some of our awesome student sketches!
