Art+Club

Fifth grade student Art Club members celebrated the unveiling of a mural they painted in the hallway of the building under the direction of Mr. Nathan Carroll, their art teacher. The Art Club met weekly after school from October through February under the direction of Mr. Carroll and his wife, Elizabeth Carroll, who is a Learning Support teacher in the building. Students desiring to participate completed an application, which consisted of an essay and parental consent to participate in the club. Ten students were chosen from the applicants to participate in the club. The students designed their mural and presented their plans in person to Principal Bachman for approval. Their proposal included sketches and written statements justifying the proposal. In addition to the mural, the students each also completed an individual painting. The paintings were displayed gallery-style for guests to view at the celebration on the afternoon of February 28, 2011. The students each posted a written statement about their paintings, which told about their inspiration, technique, and their overall impressions of the piece. Congratulations on your fine work, Art Club members!
