Artists think about the spaces around them. They look at things they see outside and inside. Artists who design spaces inside are called architects.
Here is Vincent Van Gogh’s bedroom. He liked it so much he painted it three times. What is your favorite inside space? Why?
Students have worked so hard and just completed their Art to Remember artworks. They are impressive!

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:

Have you ever made a mistake on your artwork? What do you do? Do you stop working or keep going?
We will learn about Regina, who made a mistake on her artwork and wasn’t sure what to do. We’ll learn that ALL artists make mistakes, but artists don’t let those mistakes stop them from making art. Sometimes, mistakes lead to the best ideas!
We will create a drawing of a jungle or rainforest and will keep going even if we make mistakes.
The kindergarten has been learning about the primary colors. We will learn that the primary colors can mix together to make the secondary colors.
We will paint a butterfly with the primary colors and mix them together to make the secondary colors.
