Fourth Grade Art Posters ($30 each)

4th Grade Projects:

Each 4th grader has spent HOURS breaking plates J gluing the pieces onto terra cotta pots (donated by Emily Thompson from All Seasons Garden shop) and finally a day of extremely fun and messy grouting. Next, Emily Thompson is helping us fill the pots with soil and plant some vibrantly green and wispy wheat grass that will be ready just in time for our Art Show. Your child is so very proud of their MOSAIC CONTAINERS – and - rightfully so. This was a big and lengthy project for them! In addition, each class has a Guest Artist who was inspired by the children and has created a mosaic piece of art to be for sale the night of the show.

Mrs. Key’s Class: The Guest Artist for this class is our very own, Katherine Sjoblom. Besides coming up with this wild idea in the first place, Katherine has been my right hand man for this project and rolled up her sleeves many a day to help the children. Katherine felt inspired to create Mosaic Fairy Balls from recycled bowling balls and they will be the focal point for this classes arrangement of their containers and will also be for sale the night of THE SHOW! Come see these vibrant Fairy Balls and make a wish for your child in art and in life.

Mrs. Nicholson’s Class: The Guest Artist for this class is Beth Inglish. Beth felt inspired to create a stunning mosaic table that JR found for us. The glass used in the table if from the job site of Covenant Presbyterian Church that is under construction in Green Hills. Our local architect, David Harper designed the church and salvaged the glass from the stained glass artist. Beth spent over 25 hours choosing the colors, breaking the glass, and adhering it to the table in a radial pattern that glows from the inside out. You have to see this beautiful table that captures the essence of the bright and colorful light of childhood. You may view the work at www.binglishart.com.

Ms. Foxx’s Class: The Guest Artist for this class is Camilla Spadafino. After helping sixty children mosaic and grout their terra cotta planters Camilla went on her own mad mosaic frenzy and mosaiced a bird bath with three beautiful Koi swimming around inside the basin. The glass used for this piece is also from the church our local architect, David Harper designed. The stain glass artist set aside his scraps, which were recycled into Camilla’s birdbath. It is shiny, swimmy and sure to catch your eye and capture your imagination.
