Masterpiece+of+the+Month

= __**Masterpiece of the Month**__ = ==== I pick one student's art project each month to be Masterpiece of the Month. I pick the artwork and student for various reasons. The student may have tried something unique, creative in their project. Maybe the student took more time to show good craftsmanship in their work. It may have been a student that has improved in art class behavior and effort. ====

__**March**__
= Kaylee Zheng in Mrs. Brans' 1st Grade Class = I picked Kaylee’s pond painting because of her ability to try. After studying the artist Claude Monet and looking at his pond paintings students had to paint the water like him (lots of colors). Students were then asked to add details to their work. I showed them how to make lily pads and water lilies. If students wanted to add something else they could. Many did fish or frogs, but Kaylee was the only student to think of and try on her own to make a swan. Without having a picture to look at Kaylee drew and cut out the swan all by herself!
