Fleming Art and PE arts integration Project is complete!

Students from last year's 4th and 5th grade participated in a collaborative project with Mrs. Foley and Ms. McClintock to create life size action figure art to help decorate Fleming gym. We unveiled the art work earlier this year and the gym looks so great as a result of their hard work!



 

Summit Street School Celebrated Dot Day!

Every student at Summit Street School enjoyed creating wonderful "Dot" inspired art after reading the book  The Dot by Peter Reynolds. The idea behind Dot Day, which is now an international event with school children and adults [participating, is to celebrate one's creativity and take ownership of it. Two of our classes had the opportunity to Skype with third and fourth graders from Williston Central School, which was a lot of fun for everyone involved. Students from M.C. Baker's art class in Williston and our art classes shared work and spoke to each other about Dot Day.

Observational Drawing with Daffodils

Fourth and fifth grade students spent a day practicing observational drawings from fresh daffodils. Students had the option of just drawings the flowers or sketching and then adding color through watercolors or colored pencils. it was a treat and challenge to draw from real life.

Fifth Grade Music and Painting Integrated Art Project

Fifth grade students worked with Student teacher Joe Scherer to create these wonderful integrated pieces of art inspired by music. Students listened to Mr. Scherer play original compositions on piano and guitar and then think if lines, shapes and colors that symbolized what they heard. The first week students painted simple abstract black lies paintings that were used the following week. Week two involved mounting the paintings on to large black paper and at that time color was added. The results were stunning!
