Fabulous Fall in the Studio!

Student artists have been busy learning every day in their art studio!  Now that October is here we shift gears from reviewing skills and opening art studio centers to autumnal themes for art explorations.  Autumn is a perfect fit for close observation in the Berkshires, and the studio already has gourds, feathers and mums to study and explore.  Fresh leaves, trees and fall books and poems are making their way into our studio learning in the coming weeks.  Please build time for looking at nature into your fall activities, love Ms. B.

 Second graders are mixing colors and thinking about brushstrokes.  We read a book about pumpkins.

 Kindergarten and younger artists explored leaf shapes and textures by crayon rubbing.

My family had some guests in our yard this weekend!
