Art
Crafts Exploration students have been hard at work learning about
and creating various types of
carved sculptures. We began the subtractive method unit by
designing and carving an initial and decorating it with an indented
Zentangle pattern. We moved on to carving a Bas Relief in plaster.
Our last project will be carving a
three dimensional sculpture out of soapstone.
As the first Semester winds down,
this is a look at many of the amazing project the Ceramics
students have created. The shelves in the kiln room are jam packed
with colorfully finished projects as
well as a few projects waiting to be glazed and fired.
Congratulations to the following Ceramics 2 students who have
their work on display in The Sally
D. Francisco Gallery at Peters Valley School of Craft, Layton, NJ.

The Computer Graphic Design I classes just completed computer
illustrations using Adobe Illustrator. They previously
learned basic tools and functions
of Adobe Illustrator to prepare them for more complex concepts.
They first had to create preliminary marker comprehensive drawings of
a product with new enhancements,
or a totally new invention. After creating the marker comprehensives,
the students re-created the products on computer. One of the
challenges was to create complex gradients and gradient meshes to
create the illusion of form on their
products. The gradient meshes allow students the ability to
pinpoint specific highlights, shadows and color value changes
anywhere they want on an object. The final computer graphic results
were beautifully rendered and lots of fun with imaginative additions
to existing products as well as
totally new inventions which may be seen sometime in the future.
Drawing students have spent the fall learning about specific
techniques artists use to help them slow down and make spatial
judgments on observed objects. As
we move into spring works become more individualized.
Gesture, color, emotional responses and shading start to be
developed. They can now select what techniques need to be used
to problem.

Composition students are in the
middle of a painting frenzy! In class they are working on
composition, value and color mixing. Large achromatic value
massing pieces have been on
display on the second floor of the high school and have wowed
everyone passing through the hall. Smaller paintings and drawings are
being worked on at home and with
every piece their knowledge of intentional composition is being
elevated.
Art IV Advanced Portfolio and Art
History students have been studying art history using the
Visual Thinking Strategies methods for a couple of months. They are
preparing for their mid-term exam
where they will create written critiques using the Formal Critical
Method. Every student has selected two works they would like
to study and critique. After the exam everyone will present their
chosen works to the class. They
will educate their classmates on the artist, information about the
paintings and style indicators for the painting/artist/movement or
time period. After the
presentations, Art IV students will embark on an extended period of
creating, developing their own work and building upon their
portfolio.
Music The WHS Choral Department
held a very successful winter concert on December 17th where
students in seven choirs performed for the community. One of the
highlights of the night was the
collaboration between the WHS Concert Choir and the WHS
Symphony Orchestra.
On February 5th at 7 PM, the
choral department will be holding its second annual Night of Love
Songs! The event will be held in Cafeteria B at WHS and feature
students in Bella Cora, Concert
Choir and Choraleers who will perform solo and group numbers.
The event is sponsored by the Westfield Choral Parents
Association. The night will include basket raffles with items from local
Westfield businesses.

On February 25th Dr. Fryling, Director of Choirs at Hofstra
University and President of the American Choral Directors
Association Eastern Division, will be coming in to do a masterclass
with the students in Concert Choir.
The students in Concert Choir and
Treble Chorus are looking forward to 2 upcoming Choir festivals at
Summit High School on April 21st
as well as Rutgers on May 17th.
A message from The WHS Choral President; on Saturday, January 9,
2016 over 40 students in the Music Department at Westfield High
School participated in the annual
Christmas Tree Pick-up fundraiser. This annual event provides the
students with the opportunity to give back to our community, while
fundraising for a department that
has given the students so much. These dedicated choir and band
students came together to pick up a total of 426 trees from all over
Westfield.
The department successfully
collected approximately $6,168. The funds raised will be going
toward clinicians for band and choral groups, to offset the cost
for students to perform at the
Kimmel Center in Philadelphia and for future band and chorus trips.
The department looks forward to an even more successful Christmas
Tree Pick-up event in 2017.
WHS Bands
On Wednesday, January 13th, the WHS Music Department hosted the
Fourth Annual 8th Grade Day. Accompanied by their music
teachers, students from EIS and
RIS were bussed to the high school for an interactive day of
discussion and music-making alongside the WHS Wind
Ensemble, Concert Choir and

Chamber Orchestra. Guest speakers included Principal, Peter
Renwick and Director of Guidance, Maureen Mazzarese. We look
forward to seeing many of these 8th graders in next year’s WHS
ensembles!
The evening concluded with a
special band concert with performances by the EIS and RIS
Concert Bands, the WHS Wind Ensemble and the WHS Marching
Band. At the end of the concert, Intermediate and High School
students stood side by side in a
combined performance of Robert W. Smith’s The Great Locomotive Chase. Bravo to all for a great day of music-making!
The New Year brought a brand
new set of chamber ensembles to WHS. Coached by Westfield

Page 5
February 2016 - March 2016 Arts a la Carte
Recruitment Day at the High School. After a performance,
Chamber Orchestra students were given the opportunity to sit down
and work with students from RIS and EIS, giving them valuable
information about the High School
music program and their transition from 8th grade.
In the meantime, a small group of
orchestra students from both the
Chamber and String Orchestras are continuing to prepare for our trip
to Boston. We are currently looking into fundraising
opportunities to support our trip. For more information, visit

Drama
The Westfield High School drama students are once again engaged
in furthering their studies of the world of theatre. In Drama 1, the
students have just completed their exploration of Medieval Theatre
and its contributions to world
theatre. In addition to the historical aspects of the period, the
students also examined the specific elements from the time
period still seen in contemporary
theatre via the performance of scenes from Arthur Miller’s classic
drama All My Sons. The Drama 2 students are completing their
study on Sanford Meisner and his actor training techniques. In
Drama 3, the students have been
exploring Realism and contemporary American drama.
This study will conclude with performances from Beth Henley’s
play Crimes of the Heart. WHS
students are also continuing their exploration of the world of theatre
behind the scenes in Stagecraft. The students are engaged in
learning the various jobs that exist in the technical theatre as well as
the numerous employment
opportunities they present. Currently, the students are
learning the fundamentals of scenic painting and the various
techniques used within the theatrical production process.
WHS Spring Musical Into the Woods
“Be careful what you wish for” seems to be the ongoing theme in
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Brothers Grimm inspired
musical, Into the Woods. The Westfield High School Theatre
Department will be venturing Into the Woods, as they prepare to
share the Sondheim masterpiece.
The story follows The Baker and his wife who wish to have a child,
Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s Festival and Jack who
wishes his cow would give some milk. When the Baker and his wife
are visited by the neighborhood
Witch, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family,
the two set off on a journey into the woods to reverse the curse.
While in the woods, we also meet
Little Red Riding Hood, who is on her own journey to visit her
grandmother, the Wolf who loves tasty treats, the Witch’s “daughter”
Rapunzel and the Princes chasing after their loves. By the end of Act
I, everyone has gotten their wish
and will seemingly live happily ever after. But in Act II, when Jack’s
beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant, we see how the
consequences of their actions
haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come
together to save each other and their kingdom, but sacrifices must
be made. The WHS production, featuring over 130 student actors,
technicians and musicians, clearly
demonstrates the myriad talents of the WHS fine arts students and
their various disciplines.
Performance dates: March 10, 11 & 12 at 7:30pm
Tickets will be available starting February 17, 2016 by visiting the

Intermediate
Art The 6th graders in Mrs. Cohen's
class are working on their weaving projects incorporating texture and
patterns into their creations. The
7th graders just finished their glass vessels and a short paper on the
artist that they emulated. They are now working on a colored pencil
project dealing with shape, pattern, color and line. The 8th
graders are starting on a weaving
project mobile.
The 6th graders in Mr. Greenwood’s second quarter classes started off
the by reviewing the elements of
art. The elements of art are the basic properties of a work of art –
line, shape, form, color, Space, texture and value. Artists covered
with the 6th grade were Georgia
O’Keeffe and Vincent Van Gogh.
Page 6
Arts a la Carte February 2016 - March 2016
They made Van Gogh style oil pastel drawings and watercolor
O’Keeffe paintings. Also covered this second quarter was
commercial art design concepts with the Traditional Dr. Martin
Luther King poster design. To
finish the quarter the 6th grade students will take a look at Pop Art
and its use of commercial objects in art.
The 8th graders in Mr. Greenwood’s
second quarter classes also worked on Martin Luther King posters for
the District wide contest. In
addition, they worked on paper sculpture with geometric designs
and ceramic sculpture. Lastly the 8th graders are completing a
project designing 3 dimensional
double sided billboards. This is a project that is based in commercial
design concepts and incorporates paper sculpture. Many of the
subjects of this project examine
before and after imagery.
The 6th graders in Mr. Thompson’s
classes have just begun work on a
Mehndi design project. Students have been exploring the historical
significance of Mehndi art while discussing ways to personalize
their own designs. Everyone will
trace his or her hand 4 or 5 times on white paper, then fill up their
hand shapes with Mehndi inspired designs. Hand shapes and designs
will be traced over in Sharpie and cut out. Students will then do a
watercolor wash on a separate
piece of paper. Once dry, their hand designs will be glued on,
creating a colorful background.
The 7th grade students in Mr. Thompson’s are finishing up Pop
Art candy paintings. After studying the life and art of Andy Warhol all
students brought in a candy item to use as the subject of their
composition. Everyone drew their
candy extra-large on white paper, with an emphasis on placement
and cropping. Drawings were then outlined in bold black marker and
painted with acrylic. The results
are outstanding! These will make for a dramatic display in the
student gallery by the main office.
Eighth grade arts and crafts have just started paper coil baskets.
After looking at baskets from various cultures, students began
forming their baskets from paper coil core and craft glue. When
building is complete we will paint
the outer surface with liquid watercolors and then add
decorative elements using raffia, feathers, beads and yarn. Striking
and colorful!
Mr. Thompson’s art club has been
working on a large group sculpture
based on the art of Glass Art of Dale Chihuly. We are assembling a
large mobile that is made up of many individual pieces. We used
marker and paint to color a variety of plastic “junk”: water bottles,
cups, bowls and sheets of acetate.
We then used a heat gun to melt and distort the objects so they
took on a new, abstracted form. We are in the process of attaching
these forms one at a time to an
armature made of chicken wire. It’s huge! We will be hanging it up
in the downstairs entrance way as soon as it’s finished.
Music
RIS Chorus After our busy and successful
Roosevelt December concerts, the
6th grade vocal music classes have been having fun reviewing our
notes in treble clef, singing and learning the piano. Students will
be studying composers of the Classical and Baroque period, by
creating videos and skits. Bach
may appear on the evening news, or be visiting for some
gingerbread. Mozart may be interviewed by Kelly and Michael
or appear on Dr. Phil.
After a successful Holiday concert,
the 7th grade chorus has been working on labeling melodies using
solfeggio syllables. This work has helped students understand
concept of keys and key signatures
as well as help them to become more confident sight singers. We
have also started to write rhythm projects using dots ties and rests
to help them become more
rhythmically accurate. All in all, the group is learning quite a bit while
having fun exploring music. I look forward to seeing how far we can
go.

On January 13th the RIS 8th grade chorus students enjoyed a trip to
the high school for Recruitment Day, where they were able to
meet the WHS chorus students and hear music performances.
They also rehearsed with the WHS
chorus students and were excited to learn of all the wonderful
opportunities available in music at the high school. In addition, they
are having fun learning the piano
and guitar!
Drama
RIS Spring Musical
Once on this Island
Just in time to shake off winter,
Roosevelt School takes you to the Caribbean with the captivating and
energetic musical Once on this
Island. With lyrics by Lynn Ahren and music by Stephen Flaherty,
this musical fable is based on Rosa Guy's1985 novel, My Love, My
Love.
The story is set on a small island in
the French Antilles during a raging storm where the inhabitants tell of
a tale depicting star-crossed lovers
(played by Julia Singer and Matthew Meixner). Confronted
with issues such as class distinction and societal
expectations, the islanders must deal with a wealthy ruling class
while guided by their belief in
powerful gods, which include Asaka, Mother of the Earth
(Elizabeth Rosenberg), Agwe, God
of Water (Christian Vozza), Erzullie, Goddess of Love (Olivia
Bergman) and Papa Ge, Demon of Death (Anthony Butera). Song and
dance prevails with a variety of musical numbers that incorporate
the entire cast.
Director Annie Brzozowski chose
this play because "it is an excellent expression of empathy and
compassion." Although the
themes of the story are serious and universal, the approach is
light-hearted and performed musically, similar to an operetta.
Brzozowski credits her award-winning choreographer, Nicole Le-
Fleur Amadeo, with keeping the
cast in high-stepping form. With a cast and crew of over 70
members, the show is rounded out with the talents of Musical
Directors Karen Romero and
Sabino Lasco. This show is presented through special
arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Performance dates: March 4th and 5th at 7:30pm March 6th at 2:00pm
Tickets are on sale now and can
be purchased online at http://ris.booktix.com/, or at the
door at Roosevelt Intermediate. Ticket price is $10.
Edison
Intermediate
Art
The 6th grade students in Alison Hooper's class are busy working on
an abstract Name Collage which includes their own name, as well
as 9 of their friends and family
members. Each collage includes
value, hatching, cross hatching and stippling to show a variety of
shading techniques. A new project, "Art Elements", is
underway which incorporates all of the elements artists use in the
creative process: line, form,
texture, shape, space, color and value. Students are learning how
to turn a line into a shape and a shape into form. India ink is used
to outline the penciled-in shapes,
with a dark and light gray value on the edges to illustrate form. Water
color washes will be added to fill in the background.
The 7th graders have been
learning about Art Movements. An
art movement is defined as a time in history when many artists were
creating art in a similar style. The first art movement studied was Op
Art which was popular in the
1950’s. Op Art is short for Optical Art, which uses multiple lines in
various widths to create a visual illusion. Each student created
their own Op Art design and used
sharpie markers to color in the shapes. The students have just
begun a project which illustrates a Still Life drawing in the Pop Art
style. Pop Art, or Popular Art, was practiced in the late 1950's and
1960's and it used everyday
objects for the subject. Andy Warhol, known for his Campbell
Soup Can paintings, and Roy Lichtenstein, recognized for his
large Comics paintings are two
artists who incorporated this new style within their work. The 7th
graders are painting their still life images using India ink and water
color washes. Tiny dots will be added to reproduce the look of
"pixels" which was a key element
in Roy Lichtenstein’s paintings.

Arts a la Carte February 2016 - March 2016
Eighth grade students, in both Ms.
Hooper's Fine Arts and Arts and Crafts classes, embarked on a
large scale project based on the well-known glass artist, Dale
Chilhuly. Chilhuly is a working
artist known for his unique, often large scale, glass sculptures which
have been exhibited world-wide. The 8th graders worked
collaboratively to paint, cut and
assemble over 600 recycled plastic water bottles to build two, 10 foot
hanging sculptures. The impressive sculptures will be
permanently displayed in the EIS auditorium.
Ms. Hooper's Arts and Crafts classes have been learning about
the various styles of printmaking
including String Printing and Linoleum Prints. Each project
allowed the artists to experiment
with a variety of techniques including off-register, which is
when 2 prints are printed on top of each other to create a shadow
effect, as well as reduction printing.
The Fine Arts class had the
opportunity to work with local artist, Philla Barkhorn. Ms. Barkhorn
is an experienced painter who
shared some of her painting techniques with the class during an
artist demonstration. Afterwards, each student painted a realistic still
life using water based oil paints.
The 7th grade students have been studying art history of Optical
Illusions in Mrs. Frees class with two projects using the elements of
art, line, shape and value to create their original designs. The class is
also creating a mixed media piece
using different patterns to relate back to what they learned in the
beginning of the year with two point perspective. The students
are learning about the use of
Ellipses to create a cylinder that follows the same principle of
parallel lines from 2pt perspective in drawing the cube. We are
drawing Modern Greek Vases and comparing the historical
significance of the Greek geometric
period and that of Modern Op and Abstract Artists. They are using gel
pens, oil pastel blending techniques and drawing methods
of hatching, crosshatching, and
stippling. Students also finished a wonderful new project learning the
slab building clay technique to create a “topographical” map out
of clay. We talked about the use of
topographic maps in science to create a landscape with features in
3d. We then created our own from clay and used colorful designs and
geometric and organic shapes to make a topographic landscape.
Page 9
February 2016 - March 2016 Arts a la Carte
Mrs. Frees Class is working on 2pt perspective. The students learned
to draw boxes using one and two point perspective. They had to
learn to use value to create a sense of depth in their work. They
are going to use perspective to
write their name or a word and embellish it. We are further
exploring the use of perspective and color theory by making a 3-D
painting that uses color theory and
drawing techniques to create a painting with repetition and
movement.
Students in Mrs. Frees Crafts class
are working on finishing clay slab houses or boxes for their unit on
clay making. Students are also completing their exploration of
cultural art by studying the Native American Storytellers of the Pueblo
nation. They used their knowledge
of making both coil pots and pinch pots to make their own animal
storytellers.
Music The EIS Bands had a wonderful
Winter Concert season.
Performing to packed houses each night, the students played their
best when it counted the most. Performing for the first time on the
Edison stage, the 6th Grade Band
showed how much progress they have made in only 4 short months
of being in middle school. The 7th Grade Band performed a crowd
favorite “Beethoven’s Fifth
Christmas,” which featured melodies of Beethoven’s famous
Fifth Symphony woven into fun, holiday tunes. The 8th Grade Band
capped their performance with fast paced, rhythmic pieces that
demonstrated their great talent.
The 8th Grade Band travelled to
Westfield High School on January 13 to take part in their annual
Recruitment Day. After hearing
wonderful performances from the WHS Choir, Orchestra and Band,
the 8th grade students got to sit side-by-side with the WHS Wind
Ensemble and see what it was like to take part in a high school
rehearsal. Working on the piece
“Great Locomotive Chase,” during the day, the students got to
perform that song on stage with the RIS 8th Grade Band and the
WHS Wind Ensemble that night
showcasing the great band students throughout Westfield.
This year, we had a record setting
number of students auditioning for
Region Band. The 21 students trying out all worked very hard
both at home and at after school help sessions to fine tune their
solos. Congratulations to all these students!
The EIS Jazz Band is in full swing. After a great winter concert
performance filled with many improvised solos, the group went
on tour to the south side
elementary schools to perform for captive audiences. The Jazz Band
is hard at work preparing for the Rotary Club Pancake Breakfast
coming up on March 19.
Congratulations to the
Gants on the arrival of their baby boy, Jacob Daniel Gant, on December 22, 2015!
The EIS eighth grade Orchestra
started off the New Year with a field trip to Westfield High School
for Recruitment Day! We enjoyed performances from each of the top
high school performing groups, including the Chamber Orchestra.
Following the performance, the
eighth orchestra joined the chamber orchestra to rehearse
with Mr. Craig Stanton. The students had fun playing an
arrangement of Adele’s “Rolling in
the Deep” and started work on one of their concert pieces, “Fairly
Fugal” composed by Anne Svendsen. Thank you to the WHS
music staff for a fun morning filled with music!
The 6th, 7th and 8th grade orchestras have been getting back
to basics: practicing tuning, scales and sight-reading. The students
have been working hard on
improving their individual and ensemble playing!

Franklin
Elementary
Art
The Art Students at Franklin School are certainly exhibiting
student growth and learning. Mid
assessments have been administered and development has
been seen. Symmetry, asymmetry, regular and irregular patterns were
the concepts that needed
enhancement. Projects were created to work on these and help
students with their understanding. This will be monitored throughout
the school year.
The 2nd grade students under the direction of Mrs. Coveney are
finishing up with their symmetrical
and asymmetrical portraits. After observation and discussion of
Pablo Picasso’s faces, the student’s interpretation of this concept
certainly developed. The difference could be seen and was
appreciated. Texture is the next
element of art, which is being introduced. Aluminum foil and
sharpies are the media of choice. Fish are the subject matter as they
shimmer on the background. The
end result is always a success.
The 3rd grade art students completed a decorative Bubble
Letter, using regular and irregular patterns. They followed the outline
of these shapes by using the 2 different pattern types and color
was added with metallic markers.
Using their knowledge and understanding of regular and
irregular patterns their next project will be creating a Sun face. Warm
colors of red and yellow are
repeated in a regular pattern exhibiting radial symmetry. Crayon
and cut paper are the medium of choice. This project helps to assess
their learning of so many art concepts and elements. Should be
fun!
The 4th grade students completed a project, which had them use the
foreground, middle ground and background. A drawing/painting of
buildings utilized these concepts.
The introduction of geometric shapes vs. organic shapes was the
focus of this particular project. Tints were created with tempera
paint and warm and cool colors were reviewed. Their knowledge of
these different shapes and
concepts will help with their next project where they will observe
Monet’s Water lilies and develop using Model Magic.
The 5th grade students reviewed
the concepts of foreground, middle
ground and background creating a Firework lit sky with reflective
colors in their water below. Acrylic paint was used on a canvas panel
and all enjoyed the experience. An artistic display of their work can be
viewed outside the art room at
Franklin School.
An introduction to 3-D artwork was done by the creation of a wire
sculpture. Alexander Calder was the inspiration for this particular
project. He was the sculptor who
used a mobile to develop “moving art.” Wire, twist ties and beads
helped the students create their moving Fish. All had success!
Music
Drum roll please... The winner of
the NJ 101.5 Holiday Choir Contest

the Franklin 5th Grade Chorus was chosen out of hundreds of
recordings from schools across the
state to be one of fifteen choirs aired on NJ 101.5 throughout the
month of December. After
Page 11
February 2016 - March 2016 Arts a la Carte
receiving notification that they were chosen, listeners had 24
hours to vote for Franklin as their favorite choir. Right before the
break, it was announced on the radio that the votes were tallied up
and Franklin was declared the
winner for the Elementary choir division. They will receive a $1,000
cash prize which will go towards instruments, technology, and other
enhancements in the Music room.
Congratulations!
Second and 3rd graders enjoyed
exploring form in music and
focused on some creative movement with scarves to Leroy
Anderson’s “The Syncopated Clock”. First they interpreted the
music through movement. Then
they decided how to organize their movements using our movement
cards for each section and finally they put it all together through a
choreographed routine using
scarves pictured below. The 3rd graders then took it a step further
by hanging different clocks on the wall to represent the different
sections of music. They quickly realized that the song was in
Rondo form.
Fourth graders are continuing their
unit in hand clapping games and lyric rewrites. So many of these
games can be found on the playground or at home, but we’ve
turned them into some friendly competitions during class using
various tempo markings. The students have also been taking
these familiar games and have
rewritten a few of them with their own lyrics with emphasis on word
prosody, rhyme scheme and originality. Research has shown
that these games help develop
coordination, language and socialization. Hand clapping games
are also found in most cultures and have been in existence for
centuries.
Throughout the month of February, the students at Franklin
will be focusing on note reading
through interactive games on the iPads, staff bean bag toss and staff
twister. Centers will also be set up around the room to help reinforce
concepts through small group work
and independent learning. Fifth graders have also been working on
recognizing different intervals through singing and reading.
They’ve also explored other modes such as Dorian and Phrygian,
which has been noted as being
ominous, mysterious and somewhat scary. It’s amazing how
music can stir such emotions. Across America many schools will
be recognizing the importance of
music through NAFME’s Music in Our Schools Month celebration. At
Franklin, we will celebrate this event by presenting a concert to
parents (date TBD). We will also be collaborating with Art as we
find inspiration through David
Carter’s book “One Red Dot” to create beautiful works of art with
Mrs. Coveney and movement and composition with Mr. Geyer.
Our Franklin 1st graders are excited to learn how to read music.
Students are learning the notes sol-la-mi through singing and
playing fun music games. Furthermore, students are playing
the bells and making connections.
They also are having fun learning music vocabulary and concepts
such as piano, forte, dynamics, AB form and tempo. Their favorite
songs to sing include They Are The Penguins, Friends and Fans, A Beat in My Feet, and I Will Care About You.
Jefferson
Elementary
Art First graders at Jefferson school are just finishing up their study of
Claude Monet and the
Impressionist movement. They learned about artist careers by
becoming little architects and designing buildings in
their citiscapes. We are going to
switch gears for the next project as we move into our
sculptural unit. The first project will be fun crocodile puppets. This
lesson teaches weaving, printmaking, paper manipulation,
puppet making and
monochromatic design. This is one of the favorite projects among
the first graders.
Students in 2nd grade are finishing
up their big Facial Proportion "tests" with their bad hair day
paintings. This "test" also introduces abstract art in a fun
way. As one student in 2-Nagy
stated, "Abstract is when the art is so crazy it doesn't even make
sense". I love that; the perfect 2nd grader definition. Students
will now start studying Georgia O'Keefe. They will engineer their
Page 12
Arts a la Carte February 2016 - March 2016
own detailed flower designs, emphasizing pattern and
introducing radial symmetry. The center of the largest flower will
become a yarn radial weaving. They are pretty spectacular, when
completed.
Third graders continue working on
their Aboriginal X-Ray Paintings. We have studied the Aborigine
people and compared their
histories with Native American history. There are quite a few
similarities in their colonization. They have chosen
their Australian animal, drawn a silhouette and they are learning to
use watercolor pencils now. Many
layers will be added to these paintings and experimentation with
the media will be emphasized.
Fourth grades are just finishing up
their One-point perspective cities and they are AMAZING!!!! The
kids worked very hard on this and they should be proud. The next
project will be aligned with their
studies of the colonization of America. They will be constructing
totem poles. This is one of the few sculptural projects in 4th
grade. It also has an environmental slant since we will
be using recycled cardboard for
most of the project.
The wonderful 5th graders have just completed their Marionettes.
5-Hahn's marionettes are hanging
in the front display case (pictured above). Everyone has been very
impressed with how these have turned out. AND THEY WORK!
Their next project will be large self-portraits based on the work of
Andy Warhol.
Music
Throughout January, Jefferson
School Grade 1-4 music classes continued their winter celebrations
unit, with a focus on STYLE/FORM in music. We sang African
American Spirituals, songs of the Underground Railroad, songs for
Martin Luther King, Jr’s Birthday
and songs of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s. A few
specific songs were: “Ev’rybody Ought to Know” and “This Little
Light of Mine” in 1st grade; “Get
On Board”, “Oh Freedom” and “Free At Last” in 2nd grade; “Follow
The Drinking Gourd” and “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize” in 3rd
grade and in 4th grade “Lift Ev’ry
Voice and Sing” and “We Shall Overcome”.
As we head into February, we will
celebrate/study Women in Music History, the Chinese New Year,
Groundhog’s Day, Valentine’s Day
and Patriotic songs (including President’s Day songs). Our
“Rock” (monthly theme) will focus upon Pitch and Melody.
Grade 5 students are auditioning for the 2016 All-City Chorus,
starting their spring musical
(“Joust”), and focusing on major scales and key signatures.
Listening lessons will include various examples of gospel music
and “I’m A Train” by the King Singers.
McKinley
Elementary
Art
McKinley artists have been working
hard communicating their artistic voice through their art projects.
Every student is engaged in his or her own authentic art-making
experience and it really shows through their uplifting creations.
First grade artists were recently introduced to sculpture through
our paper mache snowman sculpture. An understanding of 3-D
form and space was demonstrated
through their modeling of spheres and a deeper understanding of
color is being applied to their final painting stage where the opposite
colors of purple and yellow work against each other to create a
beautiful light effect. It has been a
new experience for these young artists, one that will hopefully be
memorable for years to come.
The 2nd grade artists are
completing their mini lesson
understanding how to weave. Using our own designs for our
Page 13
February 2016 - March 2016 Arts a la Carte
paper weaving, these 2nd grade artists really rose to the challenge
for this new technique. We will then be moving onto our Gelatin
Print to help us understand radial symmetry. Students will cut paper
shapes to create their own radial
symmetrical design and then place them on the inked gelatin sheet.
After their shapes are on top of the sheet, another piece of paper
is placed on top of it. With careful
rubbing the ink from the gelatin is transferred onto the piece of
paper. The shapes are used to block out the ink, thereby creating
a print of their very own design.
Third grade artists are split with
different art projects. 3-3 is
creating a structure using assemblage of foam board pieces
and cardboard to better understand 3-D form and the
relationship between form and
function in architecture. Students are working in groups to design
and create their very own building by connecting these foam and
cardboard pieces with a paper tape. Once the structure is
complete, they will then be painting the exteriors to add more
of their own personal voice and personality into their pieces. All
works will be displayed together to
create their own city or community.
Artists from 3-1 & 3-2 are making an edition of foam prints. Through
impressing lines into a foam board,
the students will better understand line and how it is used to create an
etching at an elementary level. Once their design or drawing is
etched into the foam board, the students will then ink their plates
and place a piece of printing paper
on top. Through applying just enough pressure, their design will
then transfer from their foam plate onto their paper. Artists who are
hard at work may make up to 6
prints for their own edition. We will add color to one print in the last
step in this fun project using a variety of materials like oil pastel,
watercolor and tempera paint.
Fourth grade artists have moved from their sculpture unit
understanding form in 3-D to understanding form in 2-D through
a proper use of value. We are using the grid drawing technique
to copy the Mona Lisa by
replicating the value from each part of the gridded picture.
Students will then bring in their own black and white 8” x 10”
photograph so we can apply what
we have learned from this technique into our own projects.
We will enlarge the 8” x 10” image to 16” x 20” to one of our largest
works yet! Students will then have the pleasure of seeing a wonderful
slideshow at the end of the project
featuring a variety of famous artist’s work like Shepard Fairey
and Chuck Close and how they have used the grid technique to
make their art.
Fifth grade artists are working
from observation to create the illusion of form onto a 2-D picture
plane by drawing cubes, cones,
spheres, and cylinder blocks in perspective. Once they have
composed their square format drawings, they will then transform
them into monochromatic paintings using value as the
vehicle to drive their illusion of 3-D
form.

Music
First grade students were learning about rhythms before the winter
break. We learned about many
different note values and then created our very own rhythms
using them! Each student created their own Rhythm Caterpillar,
which you can see here. Students used their rhythm knowledge to
create a four beat pattern.
The 2nd graders are now learning
about rondo form! We have listened to a piece in the rondo
form called “Spring” written by the composer Vivaldi. They will be
creating their own rondo form examples this month! Look to my
website to see examples soon!
The 3rd grade has started off the New Year learning about George
Gershwin and Sonata form. Students listened to songs in
sonata form and then wrote their
own songs using this type of form!
The 4th and 5th graders are starting to work with garage band
to create their own compositions. The 5th Grade Chorus Concert in
December was a success! After the
McKinley melodies performed A Great Big World's, "Hold Each
Other" the group recorded a personal shout out video to our
students congratulating them on
their beautiful performance. The video can be found
on musictechroom.com.
Tamaques
Elementary
Art
The 2nd graders in Mrs.
Massenzio’s class have enjoyed working on large sized 3-D circus
clowns. Students learned the difference between 2 and 3
dimensional works of art. The
classes really enjoyed making these and were very enthusiastic
as they added their own personal creative touches to each clown!
Third grade students created dramatic winter storm landscapes.
The children learned that color can affect the mood in a picture. Warm
and cool colors were discussed, along with how to create tints (by
adding white to any color) and
shades (by adding black). Complete with snow covered trees
and swirling snow, each painting was a creative success!
Fourth grade students in Mrs. Massenzio’s class explored the
wonderful world of creating Zentangles. What’s a Zentangle?
It’s a relaxing and easy-to-learn
way of drawing small repetitive patterns. The children made
zentangle leaves, filling each section of the leaf with a different
repetitive pattern. They then colored the leaves in, using colored
pencils. The students were excited
and the results were quite impressive!
The 5th graders in Mrs. Massenzio’s
class created a realistic pencil
drawing of their own sneaker, using various pencil techniques,
with emphasis on the elements of design. In particular they
concentrated on line, value, form and texture. This lesson showed
students first hand that by not using color; they need to create
interest in their drawing through value and texture. They need to
have some very light areas, medium tones and very dark
areas. They learned to develop
their observational skills and to draw what they actually “see” not
what they think something should look like.
Music
The Tamaques and Washington
4th grade bands are busy preparing
for their Music In Our Schools Performances. Selections for the
performance include favorites such as “Hot Cross Buns, “Au Claire de
la Lune”, “London Bridge” and
many others! The students are excited to “make” music and
perform for their teachers and friends.
Many of the Washington and
Tamaques 5th Grade Band students
are busy practicing for their All City Band audition. The All City Band is
open to any student who is a member of the Tamaques or
Washington 5th grade band. The
students are required to memorize the concert Bb, Eb, F and Bb
chromatic scales as well as prepare the solo material found on page 38
in the Essential Elements 2000
method book. Good luck to all of the Washington and Tamaques
Band students who are auditioning for the 2016 All City Band!

Washington
Elementary
Art
Students at Washington School are
busy creating some marvelous work in their art classes. The
knowledge they have attained about the elements of design
during the first two marking
periods are being skillfully applied in a number of ways during the
second half of the school year.
In 1st grade, our unit on line,
shape and color was recently completed with the creation of a
large-scale, wood collage. Students studied the found-art
sculpture of Louise Nevelson and each created their own piece in
homage. Work was then displayed
together, resulting in a truly awe-inspiring hallway exhibit. These
young artists have now moved onto applying art elements in a
unit about animals. Designs of
peacocks, lions, hippos and more are beginning to overtake the
school.
Second grade artists have concluded their in-depth study of
landscape with a collaborative collage of a city scene. Each
student made paper buildings in varying degrees of size and
arranged them together in a large
display. When this was complete, we launched a celebration for the
Chinese New Year by learning about some of the traditional art
techniques in Asian cultures. The
work done in this unit will support an upcoming social studies unit.
Students in the 3rd grade are learning to draw people. The
human figure can be a daunting art subject, so this group has
started with Lego self-portraits.
After looking at these little toys, simple shape drawings were made
and then accessorized to represent their specific creators. This has
proven to be a fun and engaging assignment. Soon, these artists
will emboss a knight figure onto
metal as a transition to a study of art in the Middle Ages.
Fourth graders have recently started learning about the great
artists of the 20th century. Thus far, they have investigated the life
and work of Keith Haring, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Claude
Monet. Students are inspired by
the work of these highly imaginative thinkers and have
created their own interpretations of some of their more famous
pieces.
In 5th grade, students have been focused on portraiture. They have
studied facial proportion and applied their findings to both a
realistic and cubist drawings of
their face. Did you know your eyes are actually near the center
of your head? And that the average face is the width of 5
eyes? These students do and this knowledge is helping them
create some beautiful work.
It is very exciting to see all the
creative minds at work this winter!

After a few busy months of winter
concerts, Washington School has been continuing strong in the New
Year. We have just learned about
Form in music and have been able to break apart songs and pieces,
labeling them just by listening. We have also used dances and
different movements to represent
specific sections of the music!
In February, we will focus on musical concepts such as Pitch and
Melody, and then in March, we will focus on Dynamics and Texture.
We will continue to work on our
identification of notes on the staff and their placement in our voices
and on the piano. We will continue to learn new music and dances
that incorporate body percussion as well as other instruments.
Save the date for our Valentine’s
Day Sing-Along on February 11th! We will be singing lots of songs
about love and friendship, as well
as numerous Patriotic songs in honor of Presidents Day, which is
only a few days later. Some of our favorites include “Viva Valentine”
and “Fifty Nifty”.
Our 5th graders have begun
working on new repertoire for our next concert this Spring. We have
talked about Theme and Variations and have discussed different ways
to make variations in music. In the
next few months, we will talk about various styles of music and
try to recognize them just by listening. We will also be working
on our music reading skills in
preparation for our chorus concert this May 19th!
Wilson
Elementary
Art
The 1st grade students of Wilson School are currently working on
their sculpture unit. They are learning about 3-dimensional form
as they create fantastic fish sculptures. These super sea
creatures are formed with
newspaper and plaster and will be painted with neon colors when
they are complete.
Grade 2 is also focusing on
sculptural form. They are researching different birds online
and in library books. After choosing a favorite, they will
create their armature and then
plaster their work. They will finish up with paint, feathers and
assorted trims. Look for an exciting display of fine feathered friends at
the District Art Show!
The 3rd graders are busy learning how to weave! Always a favorite
lesson, most students request to
take their looms home to work on them outside of class.
The students in 4th grade finished
up their sculptural unit and have
begun their artware project. This project is part of a school wide
PTO fundraiser in which every project is available for transfer on
assorted items like tote bags and IPhone covers. Items will be
available for purchase soon.
The 5th graders are busy with their self-portraits. They are
studying proportion and training
their eye to draw representationally. After they
capture their own likeness, they will finish the drawings with a
choice of abstract or realistic colored oil pastels.

Music
Mr. Hendricks believes that for
most Wilson School students, their favorite time during class is “Music
Show and Tell”. It is an opportunity to be completely
yourself - two minutes to sing a
song, dance a routine or play an instrument of your choice, before a
supportive and encouraging audience. If you sing in tune or
out, forte or pianissimo, miss some words or have it down perfectly,
no matter - it’s your time to
shine! While the class is learning repertoire, many students have
volunteered to sing solo before their peers. My, the school’s
youngest ones are so brave!!
During the month of February the
1st and 2nd graders are preparing for the annual Valentine’s Day
Assembly. On the menu: songs of love and friendship. Parents are
encouraged to bring tissues.
Third and 4th graders will present
the annual Music in Our Schools Assembly in mid-March. At least
two songs will be sung by the
mass choir. We look forward to that sound!
A future and exciting project for
the 5th grade students will be to
compose short pieces with their peers performing capabilities in
mind. We hope to have informal recitals to celebrate the
composers’ and performers’ achievements.
The 5th graders will soon audition for All-City Chorus membership.
Challenging, but enjoyable repertoire awaits all who join this
year. Many others will be
members in the All-City Orchestra or Band. Good Luck! For their
Spring concert on May 19th, the 5th
graders will present excerpts from Broadway musicals. Auditions are
around the corner! Songs from Annie, The Sound of Music, Peter
Pan and other Broadway favorites will delight the Wilson School
audiences!
Lincoln School Kindergarteners worked very hard
preparing for our Grandparents Day Celebration on January 29th.
Students performed 3 songs including A Bushel and A Peck and
Hot Chocolate. Then they will be
getting ready for their Sing-a-Long on April 1st. The preschoolers here
have been busy making music using classroom instruments and
iPads! Students have been using
an app called Tune Train to create songs of their own!
