Our 5th graders have been working on the elements of art for several weeks, doing a project that focuses on each element. For our study of form we created clay bowls and our finish included glaze with GLASS! We learned that glass can melt and the results are beautiful! If you have any marbles or glass pieces (the type you might fill a vase with) that you don’t need please donate them to the art room!
We had such a great time at the High Museum!! Our students know so much about the Art world outside of school and most importantly, they are a part of it! Please enjoy our pictures from the High.
I hope you are excited to get back to school and back to the art room!! There will be lots of excitement in ART this semester as we prepare for our trip to the High Museum. Grade levels will be going on the following dates:
k-April 18th
1st-March 24th
2nd-April 19th
3rd- March 29th
4th-March 21st
5th-March 21st
K and 2nd will see the Animals tour along with the Art of Author/Illustrator Ashley Byran! 1st grade will see the First Look tour and do an art making workshop. 3rd and 5th will participate in a new STEAM tour where they will be asked to think and build like an artist and discover that scientists and engineers follow similar steps to create and generate ideas. 4th will take part in the I See Literacy tour and use art to promote writing and understanding. We can’t wait!!
Spring is also a time to prepare for ART DAY!! Look for more information about this special day and how you can help-coming home soon!

We have had SO many folks participating in our Random Acts of Artness! Most of the pictures are on Twitter or our facebook feed so be sure to check them out. The power of art to make others feel happiness is HUGE!! This Random Act of Art was made by 3rd Grade teacher, Kelly Vonfeldt. She created a book about herself to share with her students and it is both beautiful and meaningful, like all good art! 
Our art club is spreading artistic joy! We started by adding some art to the staff mailboxes here at Sedalia Park. We invited everyone to create something and surprise someone else. We are hoping that our Random Acts of Artness will spread and continue. If you do a Random Act of Artness, please post a picture of your creation in the comments below. Feel free to share your Art here, share it on our facebook Page, or Tweet it @SedaliaArt. Thanks for participating and spreading Art.
