Carnival of the Animals

Hello!!

1st Grade has been my prized symphony class all year. Not only did they study the ins and outs of Beethoven's 6th Symphony, they just recently finished studying Camille's "Carnival of the Animals." We acted out the animal parts, talked about which instruments the composer chose to represent the animal he was trying to portray, the melody lines, the tempo, and the dynamic levels. To take it another step further, we created art work while listening to specific movements of the symphony.

Please enjoy photos of the tortoise, the chicken, and the fish!!

Artist In Residence

Calling all artists!!!!

We have been blessed by the powers from above, and into our laps has fallen a local artist who wishes to offer his skills to the students of Holy Family School. David Rhodes, photographer, hosted 3 art workshops, in cooperation with myself, for the students of HFS. We will be hosting more workshops once the 2012-2013 school year rolls around. The final artwork will be framed and showcased at an art exhibition, that will be hosted by the artists themselves! It will be a fundraiser for the art program at Holy Family School. We are so thrilled to be experiencing such wonderful community support!

Please enjoy some inside shots!
