Observation drawing

We spent a considerable amount of time talking about the shapes they see and simplifying what they see in order to accomplish this project.  They did a wonderful job observing shapes and getting it on paper.  Take a look!

Printmaking

Grade 4 created foam plate "fall" designs and made prints.  They are stunning!  Take a look at some of the process and finished pieces.

Take 25 Poster Contest -4th & 5th grade

                                            

Grades 4 & 5 Take 25 Poster Contest-COMING UP!

Just yesterday, Officer Katie from the NAPD came in to Franklin to speak with our 4th and 5th grade students about safety.  Each grade came up with all different types of safety concerns and how it could be handled.  After February vacation, the 4th and 5th grade will participate in a poster contest (completed in art), and they will be submitted for judging at the end of March. 

Take 25 is an organization that wants adults to take 25 minutes out of a day to discuss safety concerns with their child.  Our Franklin students came up with wonderful ideas, so stay tuned for a few images of your child working.

Here are a few finished posters.  The topics range from environmental safety, drugs and alcohol, gun safety to texting and driving.

Winter themed art

The Franklin art room has been a very busy place!  From snowmen to kirigami snowflakes, we have been getting it done!  Take a look at a few pictures from the past few weeks.  Every grade makes a snowman that works on different skills. They all come out absolutely beautiful.
