Belding Art For All Program

Grades 4-8 Art For All Update!
Week 4: It was Day of the Dead week and the art lessons centered around this Mexican holiday. They leaned about point perspective and drew Monarch butterflies or sugar skulls.
Week 5:: The students started a weaving unit. They learned the basics of weaving with paper.
Week 6: The weaving unit progressed with a lesson about making a loom and how to set up weaving with yarn.

We now have gallery walls on all 3 floors of the school! We believe this is something special!

Here’s what’s up in the gallery world:

1st Floor: Kinder Room 106 Aaron Douglas inspired collages and a few 1st Grade Room 109 Piet Mondrian inspired sculptures.

2nd Floor: 6th Room 312 Color Wheel Pumpkins

3rd Floor: 7th & 8th Color Wheel Lesson

We are excited to start classes next week. We wanted to close out Hispanic Heritage Month celebrating Frida Kahlo. Here is some background information and a little bit about the project.

Week of Oct. 10: PreK-3rd Artists will create a portrait of Frida Kahlo using oil pastels, paint, cut paper collage and model magic. Firda Kahlo was famous for her colorful self-portraits that celebrated indigenous Mexican culture.
