Hubbard and Cravens Art Exhibit
Miss McCarty's Special Project
This year we are so lucky to have Miss Maggie McCarty joining us from Marian College. Miss McCarty has her undergraduate degree from IU in Jewlery Making and Metal Smith Design. She is a fabulous teacher, full of energy and knowledge. So far this year she has been working on several projects with our students including Japanese tea ceremony bowls. The students have created their bowls out of RAKU clay. The 4-8th graders will be participating in a tradional, Japanese clay firing at the Broadripple Art Center in November. Students will use real RAKU glaze and be involved in the open pit firing.
We are looking for parents to join us on Friday, Nov 14th and Friday, Nov 21st for our unique experience. Please contact me if you are able to go - sabell@sjoa.org
Stay tuned to see how our pieces turn out!
Where the Wild Things Are!
1st and 2nd graders had a blast creating their own 'wild things' after reading Maurice Sendek's, "Where the Wild Things Are."

Welcome Mrs. Gemereck!
After this Friday, March 21st, I will be gone on Maternity Leave and Mrs. G will be filling in during my absence. She has been team teaching with me several times over the last semester and will finish out the last quarter in the art room. She will continue to cover the theme of Central America and will also be helping out with the art show on May 21st. Thank you Mrs. G for being here!

Guatemalan Worry Dolls
Ms. Zahn visited our classroom to share with us her artistic talent in doll making. It fit in perfectly with our study of the Guatemalan Worry Dolls. She helped us explore many different techniques and create our own Worry Dolls. Be sure to ask your child about the book that we read in class on how the dolls originated.
