FIFTH GRADERS ADD TO PORTFOLIOS
Our fifth graders are well into their art museum projects and will soon create and design a layout and displays for their modern art. I have asked them to ask you, their parents-if you would take them to the High Museum on November 7th, which is the free day for all Fulton County residents. (Show valid ID or utility bill first Saturday of each month.) At the High, they can visit examples of all of our categories: Ancient, Renaissance, Impressionistic, Folk, and Modern. The Modern wing is terrific and will give them a greater sense of understanding this entire unit. Each student has now selected an artist that they wish to research, copy a work of art, and then present. Keep posted on when our room will be ready for visitors.
