Inspired by the work of American glass artist--Dale Chihuly, Albertville Primary School first and second grade students along with teachers and parents worked collaboratively to design these interesting sculptures before, during and after our "Night of the Arts." A special thanks to Mary Jane Coker for her Chihuly presentation at the AAEA conference.

Many of our first and second grade artists have been learning about French artists--Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne. After discussions on two still life works by these Master artists, students observed a still life set-up of apples in our art room. Students used their "artists eyes" to draw the apples and then they finished their work in chalk pastels or tempera paint.
Albertville Primary hosted two "Night of the Arts" celebrations on Monday and Tuesday night. Students and their families were invited to see the art on display in the lobby gallery and classrooms; as well as, create some art at art stations. The event concluded with students singing patriotic songs on stage for their family and friends. Observing an array of bakery cupcakes in the art room, second graders drew and chalk colored their own versions of the delicious sweet. Several students had their art selected to represent Albertville Primary School in the 2017 ARTS--All County Art Show held at the Guntersville Museum on April 23. Please view the slides below to see the outstanding artwork by our students. Two nights of art & music is enjoyed by students, parents, and teachers at Albertville Primary School! Students have fun creating in the art room. |
