Back to School 2013-2014 - Malcolm Bell Art Room!

We have been very busy in the art room the last 4 weeks. Its amazing how quickly the time goes by. It seems even faster since I am scheduled with my art students only once a week for 45 minutes. Not nearly enough time as far as I'm concerned. But even in those short 45 minutes we are able to learn about and create some beautiful visual art.

The second graders have been working on warm/cool watercolor painting using Fall leaves as inspiration. Here are a few of the 2nd graders beginning their leaf paintings.

Getting ready for the Bell School Fine Art Exhbition!

 

Thanks to my daughter Lauren for spending this beautiful beach day hanging artwork

for the Bell School Fine Arts Night with her mom rather than going to the beach. We are almost ready to go. The kids work looks great. As soon as school is out I owe her a lobster roll and day at Good Harbor Beach!

Always trying something new...video!

This is a short clip from our winter musical. I was so fortunate to have my family bring me an IPad for the holidays. I tried out taking a short clip during our Bell School Winter Musical rehearsal the Jellyfish song. This is one of my favorites numbers from the show. I hear this song in my sleep now...did you know jellyfish don't have a heart?
I bet when these kids are in HS there will be a SAT question about jellyfish and they will fondly remember thier jellyfish song. We can only hope.
