TAPAS and Fun Run Slime Assembly

Today was our first day with the talented Holly de Saillan, from the Teaching Artists Presenting in Asheville Schools (TAPAS) organization.  

 Holly was an amazing presenter, who really knew how to talk to and connect with Kindergarteners! 

 We had a wonderful lesson on Paul Klee (pronounced Paul Clay).  He is an artist from Switzerland who specializes in cubism, which is what our Art projects are based upon!  Today we learned about who he is and some of his most famous pieces of art!  Then we used watercolor pencils to draw some designs on paper that we later added water to when finishing our pieces! 

 

 

 

 

 My little artist had so much fun today creating their masterpieces!!!

 Today's pieces were just practice for next week when we work on our final watercolor designs that will later be turned in to clay tiles!  This is going to be an amazing project and I am so excited to share it with you on our classroom blog!!!
We also had an excited assembly this afternoon to celebrate a very successful Fun Run Fundraiser!  Ms. Dechant, Mr. Hannah, and Coach Swain all go Slimed!!!  The kids LOVED this!!!
