S.O.A.R. Program at Rocky Heights Middle School

During the summer I enjoy spending time up at Rocky Heights Middle School teaching art in their S.O.A.R. program.  The S.O.A.R. program is a summer enrichment program open to DougCo students 4th -8th grade.  I teach two classes.  Below are pictures from my Wearable Art Class. Each student was encouraged to express their own individuality by working on functional items that can we worn or used. Below are pictures of some of their masterpieces.

BASE Camp Art Club

During the summer I do an Art Club for out BASE Camp students.  This year we did three Canvas and Creativity Classes for different age groups.  We also did a fun Arts-On-Fire type of ceramic figure painting.  We had so much fun and created some really cool art.  Below are a few pictures of our super fun BASE Camp Art Club Day!

5th Grade Art Club Party

This years Fifth Grade Art Club Party was a BLAST!  We had yummy food and made some awesome wearable creations.  This years fifth grade art club was a special group of kiddos, they even earned an extra art club day! They will be missed!!!! 

Below are some pix of the party, creating our wearable art and some really cool finished products! 

Enjoy!  

Dance in Film

This years fifth grade dance theme was "Dances Featured in Film." We have been working on this since the beginning of the school year and the students have worked so hard on this dance!  Mrs. Berndt and I are sooooo proud of these fabulous fifth graders! They amazed us with all that htey put into the dance and the quality is there.  I have to say that this could quite possibly be the BEST dance performed at TTE! I am really going to miss these guys so much! It is bittersweet - we have been working towards this day all year...and not it is over.  It will live on in our hearts forever (as well as the video!!!).  Below is a link to the video of our final dress rehearsal.  Enjoy!!!!
