Art Smart

The first annual CIPLC pumpkin carve was a great event! It was wonderful to have Parents, siblings and friends come and carve pumpkins in CIPLC's cantina. We had a great turnout, and over forty creative and inventive pumpkins were carved and decorated. Among the pumpkins we had witches, pirates, a snowman, Frankenstein, a bride and many other creative designs. The pumpkin's provided lovely decoration at the fall carnival the following evening. A great time was had by all and we can't wait to do it again next year!  

Fifth Grade Unity Designs As the culmination of the fifth grade review of the Elements of Art and the Principles of design, the fifth grade students used their own designs to demonstrate Unity. They created and copied a simple design, and then used color, shape, pattern, line, texture, value and other techniques to create Unity.  Unity is a tricky principle, it is the idea that the pieces within a work are unified or banded together. Unity helps to create a cohesive visual concept within a work of art. In creating several versions of Unity, students had a chance to practice the concept and gain confidence.
