The Art Show for Elda was last night. It was great! It was so exciting to see all the students showing parents and loved ones their work as well as the work of their classmates. All the projects were so creative! The sculptures throughout the building were all made from recycled materials. There were activity booths set up for students and parents to show off their art skills along with local artists showcasing their work. The local artists provided some great inspiration for our students and their work gave children an idea of how much creativity and art are flowing through the Ross community. There were also a few special performances from our own Elda students. The building was filled with talent!
Pat Kerr (Elda Art teacher) utilized countless materials and resources to teach the students and guide them on projects. Of course, technology played a role too! The art room is equipped with an Elmo (document camera), laptop and projector that Pat uses to show pictures from Art books, the internet and other materials she has to provide instruction and inspiration to students. There also student computers in the room providing art software, internet access and many other resources.
Pat wanted to show the parents how hard the students had worked on their masterpieces. She used a digital camera to snap pictures of all the students during the months spent preparing the art work and displays. She also used a digital video camera to capture footage of the sculptures being made and the lip sinking students practicing their performance. Both the video footage and digital pictures were on display during the show.
Both Elda and Morgan have Art shows every year to showcase student work and talent. This was another big success for Elda and I am sure Morgan will put on a fantastic show as well! Jenna Rahrig (Art teacher at Morgan) and Pat do a fantastic job working with the students and letting creativity flow! The Art Show for Morgan is scheduled for April 2 this year. I hope to see you there!
