6th Grade - Art Show at Annex Surf Supply

What a fabulous evening! 

Music, yummy treats, and Artwork!

6th Grade Nature Leaf drawings were on display at 

Annex Surf Supply, in Wrightsville Beach. 

If you haven't been to Annex, go. Just go check em out. Some of the nicest, supportive people of local artists. We are so thankful for the opportunity to show in your space and to work together in the future. 

Thank you SOO much Sarah Howard and Larry Snyder for providing some groovy tunes, laughs, and setting such a warm environment. 

Bracu 6th Grade! 

'Tis the Season for CLAY!

I love to do clay in the fall, about this time, as the temperatures drop. We have been in school just long enough to establish a solid routine... so bring on the CLAY!!

Here is a peak at what several classes are working on.

1st & 2nd - 

Slab Owls

Focus Skills - kneading, rolling, forming shapes, adding texture, smoothing

3rd & 4th - 

Coil Turtles 

Focus Skills -kneading, rolling coils, score&slip to attach pieces, adding texture

Netx, they will be making slab containers.

7th & 8th - Mud & Fire Elective

Friendly Monsters

One of my favorite projects! Kindergarten students created drawings of "Friendly Monsters" using oil pastels and watercolor. 7th & 8th graders are turning the drawings into clay figures that they will then give to the kindergarteners. So sweet!! 

More clay to come!

Out theme is "Our Ocean", and there will be a sea turtle ;)
