Art Reminder

Hello Hoover Parents,

Please ensure student(s) come to art class with appropriate clothing. Art smocks are always provided in art class. The smocks are located to the left of the sink and students are allowed to pick up a smock when entering the room. Students are alway encouraged to wear a smock until they are walking out of the room. Please encourage the art students to wear a smock the ENTIRE art class. Below is an art schedule by team. Please contact myself or the classroom teacher for the specific art day.

Team Wonder: Monday - Tuesday
Team Intellect: Wednesday - Friday
Team Inspire: Monday - Friday
Team Shine: Monday - Tuesday
Team Shine on - Tuesday
Team Soar: Tuesday - Wednesday
Team Reach: Monday - Friday

It is my goal to keep students as clean as possible. However, the art making process is messy.

Spring Break

Enjoy your spring break. Take time to create art. The Milwaukee Art Museum is alway a place to spend the afternoon. 

A fun way to apply math skills, cooking skills, and art skills is to create art dough. The following website has an excellent receipt.

High Interest Day - Art Room

Hoover is celebrating high interest day. Students are taking part in four different activities lead by community volunteers.

Sneak Preview

All 4/5th graders will be starting SRINK ART! Stay tuned to see the SRINK ART in progress! 

Fair Housing

Students have been learning about Fair Housing. Students created posters demonstrating understanding of Fair Housing. Poster are being submitted to West Allis City Hall for judging.

Space

Team Pride students are learning about space during inquiry. In art class, students expanded on content knowledge and created spaceships and planets.

Planets

Students in Team Reach are creating their very own planets. They are combing features from plants they are learning about in class. It was a messy day in art, but they had fun. Can you see the red spot from Mars on any of the planets?

Youth Art Month

It was wonderful seeing all the Hoover and Franklin families today. In case you were not able to see the show today, it is open through March.

James Rizzi Homes

Students are exploring shape and form. Homes are inspired by modern artist James Rizzi. Students are tasked with building a 3D paper form in the style of James Rizzi.
