Welcome to Nellie Bennett's Art Department Directed by: Miss Bukowski and Mrs. Wagner Our physicality offers a large art room fully equipped to accommodate grades kindergarten through fifth. Students at all levels are given the opportunity to work with a wide variety of mediums: painting, sewing, pastels and markers. Classes are encouraged to work with both two and three dimensional work as well as fiber art. Each project introduces a new concept, artist, time period and/or culture. The principles and elements of design are addressed to clearly meet the objective of each lesson. Yearly our department displays a collaborative art show throughout the building showcasing student's artwork. Each student from grades kindergarten through fifth participates by contributing one piece of artwork created in the art room during the school year. We believe this helps to encourage student's growth and confidence in their development of their art. Students are able to take their work out of the classroom setting. In an organized and thoughtful process displaying artwork in clusters to enhance students' projects. Also students in other grades can view projects they may have worked on, or see what projects to expect in the years to come. Working in an inspirational and nurturing environment helps to spark the imagination, creativity and enthusiasm of the students inspiring them to be creative. Feel free to brose some of our most current projects from this year's art show. |
