Check Presentation

A check worth $1100.00 was presented to the high school and middle school art departments from Erie Arts & Culture and The Schoolhouse at Manchester Farms.  In November The owners of the Schoolhouse, Mr. and Mrs. Root graceously allowed teachers and students from Fairview and Girard along with local artists the opportuntiy to display and sell thier artwork.  All of the proceeds were then divided equally between the two school districts.  

5th Grade Weaving on a Plate

Students wove on a paper plate using the over/under technique. 

They then cut and colored the edges to look like petals or sunrays. 

Op Art

Students created a black and white Op Art piece.  They were to create 5 circles with lines intersecting through the circles.  Then they used sharpie to color every other section black.  This left a black and white checkerboard effect.

Black and White Line Patterns to Color

Students created three 3-D geometric shapes.  2 out of the 3 shapes are to be different and at different heights.  On those shapes, they drew black line patterns.  They then glued those down onto watercolor paper.  The line paper continued off of the paper.  They then only watercolored the paper.  The sections that they painted were created by the line patterns.  The sections had to be different colors.  So for example, blue and blue cannot be next to each other.  They would have to choose another color.  However, the same color can be used more than once.
