First grade artists collaborated to build and design this sculpture out of chrome book boxes. They collaged white found objects onto the boxes for added texture and design. In a contest held at the school called, "Name That Sculpture," Mrs. Isom's Class had the "winning" name. Congratulations!
Many of our second grade art classes used a still life arrangement of fruits and dishes for inspiration in a drawing. They also learned about the french artist-Paul Cezanne in our study. Several young artists in the Albertville City School system were presented with certificates by Judge Mastin for having their artwork selected to hang in Courtroom #2 in Albertville. We congratulate them on their accomplishment! APS second grader shows her artwork that was displayed at the State Superintendent's Exhibit in Montgomery. APS second grader shows her artwork that won 3rd Place in her division at the Mountain Valley Arts Council Christmas Card Contest.
Second graders have been learning about the various materials that can be used to make sculpture. They also examined a work by Miriam Schapiro and Edgar Degas to see dancers in motion or caught in a moment. Artists' styles were discussed. Students also looked at a soft sculpture by Oldenburg. The tiny dancers were made from recycled grocery bags among other soft items. Students enjoyed the process. After complete, students were able to go "shopping" for tunics and belts for their figurine. Many student artists used their creations in a puppet show to entertain us! Check out our ARTS Theater production at http://aps.albertk12.org to see the puppet show. Thanks goes to Tammie Clark for teaching us how to make the soft sculptures at the AAEA conference. Albertville Primary School had seven entries in the All County Student Art Show sponsored by the group A.R.T.S. A reception was held at the Guntersville Museum to honor all students that had their work in this exhibit. Several of our students received awards for their work. |
