Make Project

This post is just to remind students to be thinking about their Make Project (and you can also start it whenever you want). It will be due close to the end of the school year (probably May 12th). As you decide what you want to do, keep in mind the requirements:
1) Has to be something new to you (something you've never done before)
2) Has to take a minimum of 7 hrs (there is no maximum)
3) You have to record the process somehow (the most common way is through photos, but you can take video if you want)
4) It cannot "dovetail" with anything else (meaning, it can't be a project that you are using for my class and another class).
 
Here are some links to video compilations of Make Projects by students in past years:

Class Instagram account

Just wanted to let parents know that you can follow our Art class Instagram account to see what's going on in class. (I haven't done a good job of updating it recently, but I am working on getting caught up). The account is "mrprattsclass"

Welcome Ms. Annie

Ms. Annie has joined our classroom as of this Monday. She is here from BYU completing her student teaching. I always enjoy having BYU Art Ed students come to teach in my class because I always get fresh new ideas of fun things to teach my students. I look forward to what she has in store for us. Welcome, Ms. Annie, to Reagan Academy! 

Oil Pastel Still Lifes, 1st-2nd grade

1st and 2nd grade students are learning what a still life is, and they created their own using oil pastels. Some of these are currently displayed in the hallway to the lunchroom.

Chinese Bamboo Brush Painting, 3rd-5th grade

3rd-5th grade students learned how to use a bamboo brush on rice paper to create some simple black and white images of nature scenes. Painting bamboo plants was the most popular. They also learned how to write their names phonetically translated into Chinese.

Inspirations is due Tuesday, Oct. 25. Here is the entry form if you would like to download it and print it at home. We will also have extra entry forms at the school the day they are due.
