The Fox Hill Art Challenge (Click Here)
The Fox Hill Specialists team (Jen Medico, Steve Scarpulla, Ruth McCall, Wendy Moules, and Margaret Harrigan) had been making videos to send to the students each week. Each week they included a theme from each of their subject areas. The Art Challenge: Find a famous piece of artwork and try to recreate it, using things and people in your home. They’d like to pose this challenge to the staff as well, because they had so much fun creating it and thought you would all be interested in participating.

The Art Room
For 45 minutes each week, grade school children enter the very special world of the art room, where they share ideas, build confidence, and feel independent enough to explore, take creative risks, problem-solve, and meet new and unique challenges. It's an engaging. joyful, creative experience in which they learn to make, analyze, interpret, evaluate, and respond to works of art.

Studio Habits of Mind
In the elementary art classes, children develop their Studio Habits of Mind.
They develop their craft, learning to use different tools, materials, and artistic processes.
They learn to care for the tools, materials, and space they use.
They learn to embrace problems as opportunities, to develop focus, to persist and persevere at tasks.
They learn to envision and imagine.
They learn to plan.
They express themselves, making art that conveys ideas, feelings, or personal meanings.
They observe, looking closely and carefully at things.
They are encouraged to become sensitive to the natural environment as they work from observation, memory, and imagination.
They reflect on what they and their fellow artists have done.
We spend time learning how to look at and talk about art.
They stretch and explore, reaching beyond what they thought they could do.
They learn to embrace opportunities, discover through play, and learn from their mistakes.
They work and interact with one another in the community that is the art class, and they’ll have a chance to share their work with their wider communities of school and family.
Studio Habits of Mind comes out of the framework of Studio Thinking, designed by practitioners at Project Zero, the research arm of Harvard’s School of Education.

Topics
Students use a variety of art media and methods, including drawing, painting, ceramics, weaving, printmaking, and collage.
They learn about the Elements of Art, which might be described as the basic building blocks of art, and include Line, Shape, Form, Texture, Value, Color, and Space. These form the conceptual basis of most of our art lessons.
Children are introduced to some of the Principles of Art, the guidelines used to help organize the elements in order to attract a viewer’s attention. These principles include such concepts as Contrast, Balance, Emphasis, Repetition, Unity, Variety, and Movement.
They look at and talk about artists and artwork from history, from all over the world, as well as some contemporary art.

Elementary Art Challenge (Final School Week and Beyond)
THE BIGGEST PAPER CHALLENGE!
Build a sculpture using paper.
Sounds easy? Here's the challenge:
It must be three dimensional and be built using no adhesives! No tape, no glue!
Feeling stuck on how to make it? Time to get creative! What techniques can you use to make a flat 2D piece of paper transform into a huge 3D sculpture?
Can you roll, twist, fold, cut, or wedge your paper?
Don´t have a stack of paper lying around? Not to worry! Paper can be found in many things. You can find newspaper sheets, junk mail, old magazines, etc.! Be sure to ask permission to use if it's not yours and gather up your materials!
See how BIG you can make your paper sculpture.
Snap a photo of your final creation- if you can, measure it, too! Upload it onto your ART SeeSaw page!
