St. Peter Catholic School Art Room

 St. Peter's youngest artists have designed sweet winter hats using mixed media. Check them out! 

 Students designed and created their own Advent Candle. We used various materials to construct our candles. 

 Students are learning about Día de los Muertos. We looked at photos of several alters that had been prepared and talked about the different artifacts on them. Students learned about the origins of Day of the Dead and we listened to Mariachi music.  Students chose festive colors and explored different cutting techniques to make their own prayer flags. We put all the prayer flags together to make a banner. 

  Students in grades K-5th  worked hard this week  in the art room!  We learned about Warm and Cool Colors. We talked about Warm and Cool Colors on  Row Houses in the city of New Orleans, USA. Then we looked at Row House Art. Pictured Right: first grade student finishes coloring her row houses. She chose markers as her medium and worked with warm colors.    Students applied what they learned using Shape and Line in Abstract Art to design their own Row Houses. They chose a medium to color their Row Houses with Warm or Cool Colors.  Pictured Left: first grade student displays finished work.
