It's role reversal ruckus day! The students became the adults, the adults became the students. Somewhere along the way, we created a few copy-and-paste situations. Who wore it better?!
Mrs. Lawson's Adaptive Art Class worked on "painting" with their feet and wheels. They got to see color mixing in action. Another way we looked at color mixing was by mixing ink from markers into air dry clay. Pictured are students in Mrs. Fox's class. Mrs. Lawson would like to give a shout out to the Tonganoxie Education Foundation. The foundation funded a grant for adaptive art materials and supplies so she could make this class happen.
Kindergartners in Mrs. Lawson's art classes have been learning about types of lines. This class was exploring lines while trying out the different kinds of paint. These little artists were working on the Studio Habit of "developing craft" which is skill development. Here they are working on their painting skills. They were also working on the Studio Habit of "stretch and explore" which is creative experimentation. As you can see, they were getting pretty creative with their lines and colors. Students pictured are in Mrs. Beach's class.
Kindergartners in Mrs. Dombeck's art room work on their cutting skills, cutting up their paintings from last week and rearranging them on a base paper for collage this week creating something new out of their painted paper!!

TES Art teacher Mrs. Lawson attended "Looking After: Art & Care in Education Across Kansas" a K-12 Teacher Conference at the University of Kansas. The two-day event was put on by the Spencer Museum of Art. The conference included workshops about Coloratura, looking at pieces in the Spencer and making ELA connections, as well as Studio Intensives with the KU Visual Art Department. Saturday included a SMA-Art Fest with art, ideas and experiences from across the University and the State of Kansas. There was gallery time to view the exhibit "Looking After: Art & Care in Education Across Kansas". The exhibit explores the many ways that art can facilitate learning. Mrs. Lawson is part of PEAK (Partners in Education Across Kansas) which is a program at SMA. A quote from Mrs. Lawson is part of the exhibit which will be on view through January. Mrs. Lawson is featured in some of the photos in the exhibit which highlight the PEAK program participants.
