The Evolution of Dance

The Evolution of Dance

Tomorrow are the Variety Show performances of our Fifth Grade Evolution of Dance! We have been working on this since they were fourth graders!  This group has amazed me with their creativity and performance. I am sure you will be amazed as well!  I hope you can make it out to one of the performances to see the students perform their amazing dance, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Sharing Artistic Talents

There are many ways artists share their talents with each other....here is a way I, a painter, and my friend John, a musician shared ours with each other. Below are a painting and a song. The song was written for me by John, a much loved co-worker, when I had to leave my last position. In turn, I painted the below painting for him. It is of his guitar with the sheet music from the song he wrote for  me in the background. Below the painting is the song.

Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

Look at this fantastic pile of shoes. Art teachers across Douglas County decorated canvas shoes in the style of various artists throughout history.  When art teachers arrived at the show, this is where they dropped off their shoes, to later be assembled into the "A Walk Through Art History" art installation.

Below is my shoe, decorated in the style of Georges Seurat...painted with a Q-tip creating little dots of color.  The display box was also created using a Q-tip.  The images are replicas of some of Seurat's most famous paintings. 

It is finally here! The DCSD Annual Art Show! 

TTE Artwork will be on display until Sunday April 13th at the Outlets at Castle Rock.  

Below is a link to an explanation of the artwork that is representing TTE at this show.
