Students have learned that architects are artists who design buildings. We’ve been creating independently and collaboratively at our Architecture Center.
We had a class and a half (literally) for 4th grade art. We’d just opened the Painting and Architecture Centers and also had students at the Collage and Drawing Centers, too. They also cleaned up the entire room in 5 minutes. WOW!
Life is good in the art room! Students are learning about our new centers and we’ve opened up three out of eight so far: drawing, inspiration, and collage. We’ll be opening up a new one each week.
*New this year: Each student has a portfolio to keep his/her artwork in. Students will choose which artworks will be displayed at school and which artworks to bring home.
Students have worked so hard and just completed their Art to Remember artworks. They are impressive!
Important dates:
Please make sure your Art to Remember order form has your student’s name and artwork on it. Each form is personalized, so it is very important that you have your student’s order form. *If you have another student’s order form, please return it to me (Ms. Baird) and I will get you a new one.

Southside Parents & Families,
This March, all grades (preK-5) will create artworks for the Art to Remember fundraiser. Art to Remember provides families with an easy way to have their students’ artwork turned into some pretty cool items, such as iPhone covers. If you love your students’ artworks and want to take them with you everywhere, you are in luck, that is exactly what Art to Remember helps you do!
Our grade level themes are shown below. Ordering information will be posted on Ms. Baird’s website and sent home. For more information, please visit the Art to Remember website . Click here for a full listing of products.
Have you ever been part of a team? A family is a type of small team, while a company is a large team. You can be on a sports team, an academic team, or a team just for a board game.
This year, your class is your team. Your class will work and play together all year. You’ll create a pennant to represent what you bring to your class team.
What are you good at doing? Are you hard-working, smart, strong, opinionated? Are you patient, thoughtful, a good listener? Are you good at reading, working together, drawing? What skills do you have that could help your team?
How would you show those skills on your pennant?
Great news! Southside has five 4th grade students whose artwork will be shown at the 2016 All-State Elementary & Middle School Art Show. Artworks will be on display from May 9-27 in Nicholasville. Come check out all the talented artists from across Kentucky. More information below:
