Glitter Night

Second graders worked hard on finishing their Starry Night painting. They designed, colored, cut out and glued a unique town. Many of them added interesting and creative details to their town. They colored and cut out a cypress tree just like Van Gogh's. But the best part is the glitter. There's much excitement in the art room when the glitter comes out.

Pre-k and early childhood students created a truck on a hill. They learned how to draw and color a truck then they used their pincher fingers with a crayon to rub the background with color.


Then they painted a hill. Great job!
