Art to Remember

This week the students have been hard at work on their Art to Remember creations. This is our annual fine arts class fundraiser. Every child gets to use his/her imagination and creativity to create unique, one-of-a-kind designs that they are then able to purchase on various items such as calendars, shirts, water bottles, and necklaces. As you can see from the pics below, the students always seem to enjoy Art to Remember week!
 

Masterpieces for September

This month's Masterpieces of the Month were Tanner Smith and Amberly Valero. Their artwork demonstrates originality/creativity, is neat, and adheres to our topic of 'lines.'  Each designed and created a piece using a math instrument - a protractor. Congrats Tanner and Amberly!!

Dynamics

This week we studied dynamics in music.  Students did various activities to demonstrate their knowledge of piano (soft) and forte' (loud) - the volume of music - everything from playing miniature cymbals to dancing the salsa.

 

A Week of Lines

This week every student at Central worked hard on completing a project based on the three types of lines - straight, curvy, and zigzag - as well as the 3 line directions (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal).
