Students at every grade level spent much of November and December taking an active role preparing seasonal artwork, holiday ornaments, and murals to adorn the stage for the holiday concert. Thanks to the support of the LPTO, students in grades 2-6 were able to create Abominable Snowman sock sculptures that were inspired by a class I attended with my own children at Bad Art in Littleton. Each grade level lessons have been aligned with the NH Visual Arts Standards and supports Common Core State Standards while developing their critical intellectual skills. Below I have provided a snapshot into grade level instructional themes explored in Art for trimester two.
