Square 1 Art stickers and brochures will be passed out in mid-March. The products are usually shipped back to us by the end of April.
Square 1 Art has been the Art Department's fundraiser of choice for many years now. Students create artwork and their families have the opportunity to buy a variety of products with their artwork on it. If families choose not to purchase anything from this fundraiser, each student will still receive a sheet of stickers of their drawing. And if families do choose to make a purchase, all the funds raised go directly back into the art room. Last year, Anna McDonald received new tables for the classroom and the Jr. High was able to replace a very old kiln. This spring, Wilson Creek was able to purchase another kiln! Without Square 1 Art and our generous community, we never would have been able to do this. Kindergarteners learned about Pop Artist, Andy Warhol and his printmaking as they created these colorful prints of their cute little hands. First graders learned about another Pop Artist: Romero Britto. They were asked to fill their background with two different patterns that represent them (their interests, what they are good at, their goals for the future, etc.) Second graders also created self portraits this year. We looked at some Frida Khalo paintings and discussed how they each told stories about her life. They were asked many questions about themselves, and with those answers, they developed unique compositions that tell a story about who they are. Finally, my third grade kiddos once again were given the theme "under the water", and they blew me away with how creative they got.
