Welcome Back Eagle View Artists!

I’m excited to start a new year with you and am looking forward to seeing what you're able to create with the various projects I have planned for this year. So many new things are in store!




Right now we have the opportunity to participate again in the program ART TO REMEMBER. Parents love to collect their children’s artwork so we’ve teamed up with them again to create those long lasting memories and at the same time support the art program here at Eagle View. Art to Remember transfers children’s artwork onto wonderful keepsake items. This is a unique way for you to enjoy your child’s artwork and for the children to see you appreciate their accomplishments. You will receive your order in time for the winter holidays, so you will be able to order additional keepsakes as gifts for other family members.
About the end of September, your child will bring home a packet that will contain his/her artwork and a brochure that shows you all the items you can purchase which will display your child’s artwork. You will also receive instructions on how to purchase the products. If you would like to see all the different products Art To Remember offers, please visit their website at www.arttoremember.com
I hope you enjoy your child’s masterpiece! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I’m looking forward to a great year and to helping your child learn where their imagination can take them. Art is a great way to showcase every child’s ability to go beyond their capabilities and to use that in their everyday learning and life.

Fiesty Fifth Graders~ 2013 Mask Project!

 It's that time of year! Fifth Graders have made me proud yet again with their fabulous ideas for their annual mask project!
JULIETT- Day of the Dead Mask
First we start with cutting many lengths of plaster wrap...
and then we add the strips to the plastic face mold. All students begin with the face mold, but it amazes me how many of the final products are not human faces! 

SOPHIA & BECCA
We have lots of cardboard and hot glue guns on hand to add any features desired.
LAURA
KENDRA
Of course we paint first.. (students are required to create a drawn design beforehand with colors labeled so we know exactly where we're headed!)
KYLIE
A little bit of Greenbay Packer pride, I think.
TYLER & EMMALYN

KENNEDY & SAM
Many are modeled after characters from movies, books or TV shows. Below we have Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games!
GRACE
Table 5 decided to do a group thing and made the Ninja Turtles
And this one? Well we're not quite sure what this was supposed to be and either did the student who made it....but it is unique and I love it!
MARK
A Creeper from Minecraft
BLAKE
ALEX & PARKER
MADI
SAM & ALEX
Some students brought in materials from home, such as the leather strips for this awesome indian chief!
Mini Me from Austin Powers and Smegel from Lord of the Rings
