South Elementary

                                                                                 South Elementary artist’s will go Back to The 80's! 

South Elementary artists are trekking back to the 1980’s for a Retro Art Theme!  

                                                        Throughout the year, students will create works of art that relate back to 1980! 

Students will explore  80’s pop culture, famous artists, art movements, music and much more!

                     Recently, we have been working on a school wide art project to create an 80’s  Retro Music Showcase.           

                                 Students have been designing their own cassette tapes with patterns, design and colors.

        Some even chose a title to label their greatest music hits! Be sure to check it out in our South Elementary Art Gallery! 

Be sure to be on the lookout for some of our upcoming works of art including:

Kindergarten - Pac Man Ghost Paintings

                                                                                                1st Grade - Symmetrical Boombox Paintings

                                                Every student in 1st through 5th grade will create a handmade sketchbook.                                                    Students will explore various paper making techniques to create their sketchbook cover. 

Sketchbook styles for each grade level include:

There will be opportunities for students to plan and sketch ideas before creating artwork. Students are also encouraged to explore their interest in art by drawing independently when they have finished their artwork in the classroom.
