A quick note about Projects and Open House Art Show, (in Spring)....
In years past, I have collected an artwork from each student and hanged their work throughout the school. This year I will collect an artwork from each student, but I'm reaching out to get assistance from a company called Artome'. This company frames all student work and displays it in an organized and professional manner. I'm mentioning it now, so you know that student work will be coming back to students like usual, but I will not be giving out certificates for kept work....I'm planning to keep a project from an entire class rather then a few from each project. Please know I'm new to this and I will do my best to make this transition run smoothly.
Weekly Website for PV: Have your child show you our great website discoveries on their Google Classroom!

We are learning about the artist, Keith Haring and his simplified cartoon style which incorporates simple colors and messages through visual symbols. We will also be painting on this projects too. The challenge for 5th graders is that they only get the Primary colors with black and white to work with. Students may use these colors to create and invent their own colors for their painting.
