Ms. Heverly's Art Space: Welcome Back :D

Welcome to our

2014-15 School Year!

Welcome back Fishcreek & Riverview Elementary Kiddos!!

*For our first week back in the Art Room (K-4) we have been working on our art portfolios! These are simply our folders that will contain our artwork as the year progresses until the Art Show! Each artist has their own with their first and last name. We spent time decorating them after we reviewed classroom procedures, safety information and art supplies and other fun information!

Next week looks something like this....

*Riverview Elementary*

Riverview kiddos will begin working on their Square 1 Art! This is a fundraiser that benefits our school as well as our kiddos families! This is how it works: Each kiddo receives a "special" piece of paper, draws a picture and colors it (picture subject and medium to be determined per grade). This image then gets sent back to the company, the image gets scanned and loaded onto their website for parents to view. The drawing that your kiddo has created can then be ordered on things such as mugs, bags, jewelry, cell phone cases, etc. These make for nice gifts/keepsakes! Parents will be notified when the images are ready and able to be accessed and ordered!!

*Fishcreek Elementary*

My kiddos at Fishcreek will miss classes Monday, due to Labor Day, if they were scheduled to have Art Monday. However, we will begin our first art project in each class this week! Details and images to come :)

ART SHIRTS!!

As you all are aware, art mediums can be messy even when they are used correctly! Therefore, each kiddo (k-4) is required to wear a paint shirt when we use materials such as chalk, oil pastels, clay, paint or ink. If someone does not bring one or forgets it, I have a few extra at each building. Please be sure to send a paint shirt with your child!! Also, I try to explain that paint shirts are not magical! They prevent some mess, but materials can soak through! I encourage everyone to not wipe their hands or brushes on their shirts, but sometimes this doesn't sink in 0:)

Because I do not have any art images to share yet....

Last year I was out for a few months on maternity leave with my new little guy, Lane Owen Heverly. He is growing like a weed (19.4lbs & 27 1/2 inches long at 7 Months!) Lane is working on tooth #4, rolls around everywhere, is sitting on his own and he is in the process of learning to crawl. We had a blast this summer so I thought that I would share some photos :)
