Hello SJV community!  We weren’t able to hang and admire our artwork the way we usually do, but I still wanted everyone to have a chance to see some of what we did this year.  Our artists always work so hard and I think it’s important for them to get to show off a little!  Below are links to slideshows of some of the art we’ve made this year.  The slideshows were made on Artsonia, so unfortunately only those with permission to be displayed will be shown.

Thank you for another successful (albeit different) year, SJV!
 

Hello SJV families!  While we're learning from home, grades 4-8th should check their Art Google Classroom page for assignments and communication.  Grades 1 - 3 should check Class Dojo for assignments and instructions.

If anybody needs to reach me, feel free to email me at sholbrook@sjvs.net.

Kindergarten:

Hello Kindergarten!  Summer is almost here and it’s time for our last art project of the year.  I thought today we could have some fun making a little paper sculpture! 
 
You will need:

• Green paper
• Colored construction paper
• Scissors
• Markers and/or crayons
• Glue

If you don’t have construction paper, white paper is okay too! 
 
Follow along with my video to create your own snail sculpture: https://youtu.be/ctLmR8YO2TI

When you finish, take a picture and email me at sholbrook@sjvs.net.  I can’t wait to see how everyone’s snail has turned out!
 
I’ve missed you guys so much since we’ve been creating from home, but thank you everyone for continuing to share your art with me.  I can’t wait to see you all again.  Have a wonderful summer, my artist friends!

Grade 1:

I've sent an email invitation to join Class Dojo!  This will be a better way for us to communicate, as well as provide a better platform for instructions and to turn in work.  Please help your student set up a student account in class.

I look forward to seeing everybody there! 

Grade 2:

All email invitations for ClassDojo have now gone out- Check your spam folder if you don't see yours. =)  I will post new project instruction here, as well as have folders for students to turn their work in.  Please help your artist get set up with a student account.

Grade 3:

All email invitations for Class Dojo have now gone out!  Please check your spam folder if you haven't received yours. =)  Class Dojo will be where I post further project instructions, as well as where students will turn in their completed art.  Please help your student set up their student account.  

Welcome to Art!  

My name is Ms. Holbrook and I am excited to continue exploring the world of art with the students of SJV!  In Art class, we will dive into the Elements and Principles of Art and art history.  While we are learning and practicing our craft, we will also work on developing something called the “Studio Habits of Mind.”  These skills, such as persistence, observation, reflection, will translate to all areas of our education.  It may look like we're just playing with paint, paper, and clay but we're developing habits that will stick with us for life!
