Welcome to the Art Room!

Hello everyone! Scribbler here. Oh, wait, maybe I should introduce myself.
I'm Scribbler, Mrs. Kelly's trusty pencil. She often tucks me or one of my pencil friends behind her ear so we're right there when she needs us. I would have included a picture of myself, but I'd like to keep my identity secret, because I'm the only one who can communicate on my own. You know how it goes. Talking pencil with a little writing ability...really smart student....the next thing you know, we're talking world domination, and I'm not ready for that!

The Art Room is my favorite place to be. Mrs. Kelly encourages students to unleash their creativity with lots of different art projects, In fact, the fifth grade is going to be doing a little role playing with their first project! They will look at some art work by the artist Georges de La Tour - I think he was French - and he lived in the 1600s. (He must be really old!) You might want to look up some of his work. He was famous for working with a technique called chiaroscuro. More about that in art class!

Sixth grade is going to be experimenting with black line, pattern, and contrast. Wow, that's a mouthful! And, I hear there's no specific theme - creativity, here we come!

She's hoping everyone will remember to bring pencils, or leave them in the portfolios, but not to worry, she always has some to borrow!

Have a great school year - we can't wait to see you in class!
