Another year, another successful Dot Day!

Dean Street celebrated Dot Day! Students and teachers wore dot clothing and "connected the dots" of art, reading, writing, math, music, and other subjects to create some awesome projects! Here are some pictures of our all-school collaboration!

Thank you and have a colorful day!

Welcome Back!!

Welcome back to another great year!

It's the second week of school, and art is in full swing! In order to create our art we need a cool place to do it in :) So here's a before and some after pics of the art room:

BEFORE

AFTER

Here's what students are working on:

Kinder: We read the book "Mix It Up!" and had fun learning the primary colors and mixing them up! Students will be making frogs next.

First: We discussed different types of lines and painted the big 6 (straight, wavy, dotted, dashed, zig zag, and bumpy) on our paper. Our next project will be creating fish and reading the book "Only One You."

Second: We read the book "The Day the Crayons Quit" and drew our own crayons! Students will be creating birds next.

Third: Students read the book "Beautiful Oops!" They made an "oops" on their paper and then turned it in to something beautiful. For their next project, students will be learning about Georgia O'Keeffe and creating close up flowers.

Fourth: Students created sketchbooks and practiced drawing 3-D forms. They are going to be learning about the artist Wayne Thiebaud and making a 3-D sweet.

Fifth: Students created sketchbooks and practiced drawing mannequins. For their next project they are creating an expressive self-portrait inspired by Edvard Munch's "The Scream."

Thanks and have a colorful day!!
