Baby Bird Birthday Party

All students drew parents and baby great egrets.  Some classes painted acrylic paints on waxed paper; it looks like stained glass.

Masks at the End of Last Year

Mrs. Waters' class drew patterns on masks and collaged feathers, jewels, and beads on animal masks.

Masquerade Masks with 4th and 5th Graders

We explored different art materials to create patterns and a focal point on the masks.  These masks were to be fancy enough to wear at a masquerade ball.

River of Words Art and Poetry Contest

The fourth and fifth graders have bee preparing to drawing and paint animals that live in the freshwater pond, cypress swamp, salt marsh, and beach at Hunting Island.  This contest is to help students learn about the animals and environments that live in our neighborhoods.  The paintings were hard to select for the contest.

History Project

  The third graders have been drawing parts of the school and learning stories about the history of the school.  We asked Mrs. Gruel to give us a walking tour of the school and especially the Tower that is 100 years old.  On Thursday, Jan 22, we will share the stories we have learned in a program at BHS with Beaufort Elementary, and Beaufort Middle School.

Winter Concert Program Cover

  As an artist, the students are learning you need keep an eye on the deadline for a competition.  The 3rd, 4th and 5th graders were invited to draw a cover for the program we had this Tuesday.  These are some of the drawings.

Ice Cream Sundaes

2nd and 3rd graders drew ice cream sundaes using shape, color, and texture.  This was the first time we used texture to imitate something from real life.  Using line, and pattern we imitated the lumpy look to ice cream.  We added sprinkles, candy, and chocolate chips to create a pattern and unity.  The last thing was to make sure there was one focal point like a cherry on top.
