Art Studio Update


Greetings from the art studio!
Spring is finally catching up to the artwork students are creating in their art learning lab!

Our youngest artists are finishing ceramic flowers which will be displayed for all to see during the Spring Concerts before they travel home. 

First grade is sculpting ceramic figures to go with their box town.  Children were challenged to make standing figures.  Many have accessories and pets too!

Second graders are challenged with making artwork which is personally meaningful and represents their home base- we are connecting to the baseball themed concert.  Students’ unique problem solving and the art of play and experimentation are visually evident in their work.

Third graders have been working on illustrations in art class to go with fables they wrote in their classrooms for many months.  Their art and stories will be on display at the Norman Rockwell Museum with an opening this Sunday 11am-4pm.  All Muddy Brook families can visit the museum and grounds for free this Sunday!  

Fourth graders are creating gargoyles and grotesques along with gallery cards- see some on display in the case by Nurse Becky’s office.  3rd and fourth graders are weaving a techno-color dream coat for their concert too!

The natural world is changing quickly during the spring season and is a wonderful time to observe with artist’s eyes.  Look around for new colors, shapes and textures everyday as you walk, work and play outdoors.
Artfully yours, Ms. B.


Gabriella and Ian (3G) work on the community weaving.
