St. Peter Catholic School Art Room

 Checkout our progress on creating construction paper pumpkins! We were inspired by the artwork of Kusama. 

 This school year students in grades 5th & 6th can attend "Lunch with van Gogh" in the Art room. This lunch program invites students to eat lunch with Ms. Thurman in the Art room and talk about famous artists and their work. Check out our selfies below! 

St. Peter Catholic School artists are participating in a nation-wide effort to encourage and inspire people suffering in Ukraine.  Ms. Thurman connected with other art rooms in the USA who are creating artwork in solidarity with the Ukrainian families affected by the war. Art students participated in creating uplifting and empowering artwork using various mediums, including paint, oil pastel, markers, and colored pencils to communicate a message of compassion and hope.  Art students learned that, throughout history, artists have come together to create artwork to support those suffering. Students engaged with symbols representing peace and unity in their artwork. We reflected on Pope Francis's call to the "peacemakers" to become helpers during the war.  We stand in solidarity with the families suffering in Ukraine. We hope that our messages of Jesus's love and compassion will bring them peace during this grievous war. Ms. Thurman is busy scanning and uploading our art...

 Fifth grade students created their own St. Lucy Icon after learning about the saint and viewing her icon. Check out their creations! 

 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.
