Hello from the Maxey Art Room and from Mrs. Hergott!!

Volunteers

Throughout the school year I am in need of volunteers to help with students’ art and sometimes with students projects.  If you are interested in volunteering in the art room, please let me know your availability by emailing me at bhergott@lps.org.  I am very flexible about scheduling and working with your schedule. It would need to be between 9 AM – 3:38 PM.

 

Maxey Collaborative Community Art Project

All Maxey students will start next week learning about GRIT as an artist, read the book “A Little Bit of Oomph” by Barney Saltzberg and explore how we all make mistakes and how we need to put that extra hard work and effort into everything we do.  Students will also read “The Dot” by Peter Reynolds to get inspired and motivated for International Dot Day (Sept 15). Students will modify and make changes to a circle design – putting in that oomph and adding their own artistic designs.

 

Look for these designs to be presented in the hallways of Maxey school!!!

 

Art Schedule

Students have art every 5 days (once a week) for 50 minutes.

Students will have the opportunity to express themselves while using their problem solving skills and a variety of techniques and materials, such as drawing materials, paint, pottery, sculptural materials, printmaking materials and recyclables.  Maxey visual art learning objectives are connected to the LPS Visual Art Standards of Create, Connect, Present and Respond https://home.lps.org/art/

 

Art Being Sent Home

Students’ art WILL BE SENT  HOME WITH YOUR CHILD! The process in the Maxey art room is that I like to photograph students’ art (volunteers needed), display students’ art (volunteers needed) and then send the art home with students – so check those backpacks on art days.
