Arts a la Carte October 2019 - November 2019

Westfield

High School

Art

Drawing Students began the year working on pre-instructional

Drawings. They then started

becoming familiar with new drawing materials that will be used

throughout the course. The first homework assignment was given as

a baseline reference to see growth

later in the year. They were also introduced to their Process Board

procedure and how to document and self-assess their creative

process and finished work. Drawing students will begin an intense

investigation into observational

drawing and classical drawing techniques.

Composition classes have been investigating the Elements of Art

and Principles of Design. They then moved on to reading how other

artists have come to understand the

importance of intentional composition to their work and

communication with the viewer. Investigation into historical

armatures will be introduced and

students will create mini-armature projects that will be used as a

reference for all future Composition projects.

Advanced Portfolio Prep (Art IV) students began the year with

creating self-portrait projects. They have been introduced to their Sr.

Exhibition Wall assignment. Each

student will curate and hang their own exhibition wall. Art IV Sr.

Exhibitions are displayed on the second floor of the high school near

the Art Office. Each student’s

exhibition will run consecutively, for approximately 15 days, from

October to May.

The stress of being a senior and in

many cases creating a portfolio for college admissions is overwhelming

for most students. As part of Social Emotional Learning awareness, ART

IV students celebrate and create for International Dot Day. This year

they created over a two-day period,

hitting all components of SEL as they worked through the creative

October 2019 - November 2019 Arts a la Carte

process. After releasing a little bit of

anxiety, it was back to work. Art IV students read up on critique

methods and participate in class critiques of their first homework

assignment.

Ceramics 1 students are enjoying

the world of clay. So far, they have created several different types of

pinch pots. They were first given a ball of clay and told to make a pinch

pot without any other instructions.

This allowed them a chance to experience the clay in their own

way. They were then given a pinch pot demonstration and created a

second pinch pot. They also had to

draw on a pinch pot, create a unique and altered pinch pot, pinch

a pot with their eyes closed, and turn their pinch pots into some type

of character by attaching clay to

give it a face.

Ceramics 2 classes have been hard

at work creating vessels with three openings. The first vessels were

created using the pinch pot method,

and the second ones are made up of one pinch pot, one coil, and one

slab all attached to one another. This is a great project to help them

review the basic ceramic techniques

required for this class.

The Foundations of Art class is exploring all forms of the element of

art, Line. They started with Blind Contour line drawing (pictured on

the next page). After learning, that

the main purpose of Blind Contour Line drawing is to learn how to

“see” or “observe” better, students covered their drawing hands with a

sheet of paper so that they could not see their pencils. The goal was

to create drawings of their hand

holding a flower, or a self-portrait using continuous Blind Contour Line

drawing techniques. The results are bizarre and abstracted, but also

uniquely beautiful. After completing

the Blind Contour Line drawings, students were introduced to

Expressionistic art to look at the use of color. Color was then applied to

the Blind Contour Line drawings

with an emphasis on value changes using chalk pastels. Students will

continue with traditional continuous contour line drawings after

completing the blind portraits.


The Computer Graphic Design I

classes are researching the origins of our current Roman alphabet and

comparing it with alphabets of other cultures as well as ancient

pictograms. After choosing a word

or phrase, the students found a culture that was of interest to them

and translated their phrase into characters or pictograms. After

sketching the pictograms, the

students were introduced to traditional paper embossing

techniques. The students hand embossed their pictograms onto

paper to give them the illusion of depth. Next the students will scan

their pictogram characters onto the

computer and use Adobe Photoshop’s “computer embossing”

techniques to give the illusion that their characters are carved into a

surface. The students will be using

original photos of stone, wood, etc., along with background environment

photos, and will create the illusion that their pictogram characters are

carved into an ancient tablet.

Students in Dr. Ruggieri’s

Foundations of Art classes started the year by learning about some of

the purposes of art and the art making experience. One purpose of

art making is to be a form of

meditation or a way to relieve stress. In keeping with this idea, the

first project students created was a Zentangle. Zentangle is a type of

free-flowing yet purposeful doodle

that incorporates a variety of patterns. The creation of a

Zentangle is meant to be meditative as each student focuses on how the

implement (marker, pencil, pen, etc.) glides across the paper, letting

each mark flow from their fingertips.

After making their Zentangles, discussion of the Element of Art

known as Line took place. This was the central art element within their

Zentangle works. This discussion

included distinctions between analytic and expressive lines and

some ways different artists may use each type of line. Subsequent to

this, students studied the idea of

contour line and blended both expressive and analytic line styles.

As we progress through the year, students will build on these

foundational skills.

In World Crafts Sampler,

students began the year by discussing works of art that may be

functional or purely aesthetic. Their


first project blended the two by

creating a needle-felted pillow based on a landscape of their

choosing. Students used felt as a background and proceeded to paint

with wool as they build layer upon

layer to create rich tones in a myriad of scenes ranging from

serene sunsets to awe-inspiring mountain vistas. Once students

completed their needle felting, they

learned how to sew the pillow together to create not only a

functional object, but also a beautiful art piece sure to brighten

up any décor.

Students enrolled in the full year

crafts course, Crafts Exploration, have created original hand-sewn

puppets. Their unique designs

started with brainstorming sessions on how to create a new creature

using elements from several different sources. Based on their

drawings, students learned how to

take a two-dimensional design and turn it into a three-dimensional

puppet using a variety of sewing techniques.

ear training.

We have just begun work on our

winter concert with a Masterwork for our Concert Choir, holiday

favorites for the Mixed Choir and

unique pieces for Bella Cora and Chorale/Choraleers.

WHS Chorale sings at 9-11

Memorial Service downtown

Westfield- The Chorale was invited by our mayor to perform the

National Anthem at the annual 9-11 Memorial Service, which was very

special in that these students were

either born or about to be 18 years ago. It was very moving to see life

moving forward with these amazing students despite our country’s

terrible loss.

Drama

WHS Fall Drama

Performance dates:

Nov. 21 at 4:00pm Nov. 22 & 23 at 7:30pm

This fall, the Westfield High School

Theater Department will be producing the historical drama

Radium Girls, By D.W. Gregory. The

production will be performed at the

high school auditorium Thursday November 21 at 4:00 pm and Friday

and Saturday, the 22nd and 23rd, at 7:30 pm.

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international

celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage – until the girls who

painted them began to fall ill with a

mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the

efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court.

Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an

idealistic man who cannot bring

himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could

have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his

employees. As the case goes on,

however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S.

Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear

that her campaign for justice will

backfire. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics,

Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly

American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization

of science.

WHS students participate in auditions of the fall production

of Radium Girls


WHS Drama

The Westfield High School drama students are once again back in

class and engaged in furthering their studies of the world of theatre.

All three levels of the theatre courses began the new school year

with a focus on diction and physical

work as well as the audition process. From there, each individual

class set out to explore various elements of the theatre.

In Intro to Theatre, the students

have just completed their work on the vocal and physical areas of

performance and will soon begin an

investigation of the Roman Theatre and its contributions to world

theatre. In addition to the historical aspects of the period, the students

will also examine the specific

elements from the time period still seen in contemporary theatre via

the performance of scenes from a contemporary American comedy.

The Theatre Workshop students are

involved in exploring the world of Shakespeare and his myriad

theatrical contributions. This study

will include an in-depth study of the world of Shakespeare as well as the

study and performance of scenes from both The Comedy of Errors and Julius Caesar.

In Advanced Theatre Technique, the students are studying Epic Theatre

and the Theatre of the Absurd,

which includes the contributions of playwright Beckett and Brecht. The

students will explore the major contributions of this historical period

as well as the playwrights who lead

this movement. This research will include the study and performance

of scenes from classic works such as Mother Courage and Her Children

and Waiting for Godot.

WHS students are exploring the

world of technical theatre in the Stagecraft course. The students are

engaged in learning the various jobs that exist in the technical theatre

and the numerous employment opportunities they present.

Currently, the students are learning

the fundamentals of scenic design and stage construction. According to

Shakespeare, “All the world’s a stage”, and the WHS theatre

students are preparing to make

their entrance!

Art

The 6th grade students in Mr.

Thompson’s classes are finishing this marking period with large

crayon batik tiki designs. We began by studying the origin and

significance of tiki carving in Polynesian culture. We looked at

many different examples, noting the

exaggerated, simplified facial features and fierce expressions.

Students then drew half a tiki on a folded piece of paper, transferred it

to the blank side, and then colored

it with a heavy layer of crayon. Once colored, we crumpled them up

several times to create cracks in the waxy crayon. Finally, we covered

our designs in a layer of black

tempera paint, then wiped most of it off while it was still wet. The black

paint stayed in the cracks in the crayon, creating a striking antique-

looking effect. Lastly, we cut them

out and mounted them on torn

brown paper. Awesome!

The students in Mr. Thompson’s 8th

grade crafts classes have just

finished a super cool lesson using scratchboard and collage. We paged

through magazines to find a full body photo of a person. We

carefully cut out only the visible skin

parts, glued them on a sheet of gold or silver scratchboard, and then

reimagined the clothes, hair, and background. We were inspired by

Zentangles to create designs, and

explored the many textural possibilities inherent in working with

scratchboard. The results are fantastical and very dramatic!


Music

RIS Chorus Vocal Music Classes at RIS have

been off to a great start. In 7th

grade, we began studying Blues music! Students have learned the 12

bar blues form and are modeling melodies so they can write their

own blues tunes. We are using three different melodies for their

models and working in groups will

create their own blues tunes. We have also been reviewing rhythm

patterns as well as singing solfeggio and are learning accidental solfeggio

this week.

Eighth grade classes have been

having a great time singing some fun pop tunes and creating their

own arrangements adding vocal harmonies that they have come up

with. The group has also been hard at work sharpening their solfeggio

skills. We are working on ear

training using singing on solfeggio through rounds and pop songs. The

students are having a blast and they sound great! We are looking

forward to a fun, and productive

year.

Music

RIS Bands

Mr. Doyle, Mr. Freeman, and Mrs. Colabaugh are excited to welcome

back all of the band students at RIS. This year, over 170 students will

participate in the 6th, 7th, and 8th

grade bands, the jazz program, the Afternoon Ramble, and the chamber

music program. It is shaping up to be an exciting and event filled year!

The 6th grade band is already showing signs of improvement.

Even though it has only been a few weeks, they understand what it

takes to be a great ensemble, and they have demonstrated excellent

rehearsal etiquette, technique, and

performance. The 7th grade band

has picked up where they left off, rehearsing chorales, technique

exercises, and sight-reading exercises at a high level. They are

just beginning to rehearse music for

the winter concert. The 8th grade band has begun preparations for

our annual Veteran’s Day Assembly, which will take place on the morning

of Monday November 11. This event

honors all of those who have served in our armed forces, and the band is

grateful for the small role we play in this wonderful event.

On Saturday September 21, some of

our 8th graders participated in the annual 8th Grade Day with the

Westfield High School Marching

Band. This is a fantastic event in which 8th graders from RIS and EIS

have the opportunity to spend a day with the WHS Marching Blue Devils,

including a halftime performance at

the home football game. It was a beautiful day, and students at both

middle schools and the high school had a great experience.

Jazz auditions have concluded and

there will be two jazz ensembles

this year! The Jazz Big Band and Jazz Combo will each meet once a

week before school, and they have just begun preparing for the winter

concert season. Jazz Big Band will tour the elementary schools on

December 20 in addition to

performing on our Winter Jazz Concert, along with the Jazz Combo

and The Afternoon Ramble.

The Afternoon Ramble has also

begun rehearsing! This ensemble is open to all students in grades 6-8

interested in playing rock and roll, funk, and folk music. All

instrumentalists and vocalists are


welcome! Our first “gig” will be on

November 6 in the cafeteria for Mix It Up Day!

The Chamber Music program will

begin again in January, and

students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade band will spend two months

preparing small ensemble music for our Chamber Music Night on March

26 at 7pm.

Mrs. Colabaugh, Mr. Freeman, and

Mr. Doyle are looking forward to another fantastic year at Roosevelt!

They would like to thank the entire Westfield community for their

continued support. Without you,

none of these great musical opportunities would exist. We hope

to see you at one of these upcoming events!

Art

The school year has started out with much enthusiasm and excitement

within our EIS art department. The

6th graders are building a solid foundation of art centered on the

Elements & Principles of design. They have begun their year working

on projects that creatively introduce line, space, shape and color and will

continue to creatively express all the

Elements and Principles as they go.

The 7th grade students are focused

on balancing a composition incorporating what they have

learned about contour drawing,

space, shape, color and pattern.

In the 8th grade Arts & Crafts class

the students are moving right along with projects such as; God’s Eyes,

Dream Catchers and Kente Strip

Weaves. They have been enjoying learning about the history and

culture behind their crafts.


Sixth grade is focusing on the elements of art and they are

working to create from one continuous line a crazy abstract

scene that incorporates all their

elements into one element of space. They are practicing pencil shading,

value blending with ebony pencil and blending stumps. Students are

exploring color in warm and cool

shades by blending colored pencil and marker. They are going to work

on a color mixing project next that will feature line drawings of nine of

their most favorite things.

The 7th graders are working on a

large mixed media drawing using all the elements of art. They started

with a continuous line and then folded the paper into eight squares.

Students were asked to start with

one box of line and work in black and white. The next day we

discussed shape watching a short video with art from different

movements of art. The two-minute

video gave us a chance to have a discussion of what a movement of

art meant and how a still life for example could look vastly different

by two artists. The students are working in shading and value and

the next assignment will be a still

life drawing in pencil shading. We will also work in value and gradient

with painting in acrylics.

Eight grade Crafts classes began

working with fibers. We began by discussing the image of the circle

and the eye as symbols in art. We talked about Italian, Native

American and Eastern cultures. We began with a God’s Eye in yarn that

taught us a simple weaving

technique. We learned the simple weave of a dream catcher and those

skills led us to our first basket-making project in yarn.

Music

EIS Bands The bands at EIS are in full swing.

With over 220 students enrolled in band, it is a very exciting time to be

a band member at Edison. Each of

the band classes has been working hard on making great sounds on

their respective instruments. Many of our 8th grade students took part

in the annual 8th Grade Day with the WHS Marching Blue Devils where 8th

grade students from EIS and RIS

get to become members of the marching band for a day. It was a

great day and experience for these students. Next up on their

performance schedule for the 8th

grade is the annual Veteran’s Day Ceremony in November. Eager to

show how much they have learned,

they will get to showcase their skills

for the entire student body.

There are a few new faces to the EIS Band. Mrs. Colabaugh and Mrs.

Webber will join Mr. Scozzaro and

Mrs. Gant in teaching some of the band classes. We are very pleased

to be able to bring in exceptional teachers for the students. They will

help the bands get ready for their

Winter Concert. The 6th and 7th Grade Band will be performing on

December 9 while the 8th Grade Band and Jazz Band will perform on

December 16.

Some of the advanced students in the EIS band have begun their

preparation for auditions for the

Intermediate Region Concert Band in January. Featuring the top

musicians from Central Jersey, the Intermediate Region Concert Band

has a rigorous audition featuring

scales, an advanced solo, and sight-reading. EIS has been very

fortunate to have several students make this group the last few years

so we are hopeful to keep the tradition going.


EIS Orchestra

The Edison Intermediate School Orchestras were ecstatic to receive

beautiful new folders for the start of the school year. A huge “Thank

You” to the Westfield Coalition for

the Arts for making this possible. The previous folders hadn’t been

replaced for several years and now future generations of Orchestra

students will have beautifully

embossed portfolios that they can proudly present on stage for

performances. This December the folders will house pieces such as

“Carol of the Bells/Greensleeves,” a mash-up of two iconic holiday

favorites, “A River Flows In You” by

Korean pianist and composer, Yiruma, and “Trepak” from

Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, The Nutcracker. We hope to see you at

one of our Winter performances!

Drama

EIS Fall Drama

Performance dates:

Oct.30 at 4:00pm Nov. 1 & 2 at 7:00pm

On a dark and stormy night, six

unique guests, plus a butler, a maid, many servants and uninvited

crashers assemble for a dinner party

at the home of Ms. Boddy. When their host turns up deceased, it is

clear that no one is safe! Soon the guests are racing to get a clue as to

who did it, with what, and in what

room before the others can guess. Based on the popular board game

and adapted from the cult classic film, Clue is the comedy whodunit

that will keep you guessing (and

laughing) to the very end.

Assembling for our fall drama are many talented students both on

stage and behind the scenes. They include Cara Cogen, Nolan Daly,

Sigal Goldstein, Alexandra Haar,

Caroline Kobin, Rachel Klemm, Jacob Spiewak, Madeline Von Boch,

Ethan Young and many more.

Clue will be presented on the evenings of Friday, November 1 and

Saturday, November 2 in the EIS Auditorium at 7pm. Tickets are

$8.00 pre-sale and $10.00 at the

door. Ticket sales begin on October 28 after school in the EIS vestibule.

There will also be a special preview

performance on Wed., October 30 at 4pm. General admission tickets

for that performance will be sold at

the door for only $5.00. We look forward to seeing you!

Franklin

Elementary

Art

Now that the year is under way, the

Art Room has been full of students working hard to design artwork

using their creativity.

The 1st graders learned about

symmetry with leaves. After creating a symmetrical leaf with

black oil pastel, students used warm and cool color watercolor paint for

their background and foreground. This lesson also incorporated the

concept of watercolor resist with the

oil pastels. The classes have now begun to learn about sculpture as

an art form. This introduction lead to the students creating cornucopias

out of model magic. They learned to

roll coils of clay to create the horn, as well as roll spheres and pinch the

clay to create the various types of

fruits and vegetables to fill their

cornucopia. We will now begin to add color to their cornucopia with

paint.

Second grade classes completed

two texture collage artworks. For this project, students used a variety

of everyday materials, such as corrugated cardboard, rubber dish

mats, paper clips, plastic coins and

art sticks to create an artwork on their choice of color paper. Students

chose to keep one as is, and the other one will be used in a paper-

weaving project, which will start in the near future.

The 3rd graders have completed their Impossible Stack collage. This

project had the students look at balance relating to 3-D forms they

drew. Students arranged their

paper forms in an “impossible” way on their paper, with them balancing

in a way that would be difficult in real life. Shadows and highlights

were then added to help make their

work look more realistic. This wrapped up their observational

drawing unit. Students have now begun their birch tree project. They

used the unconventional material of a gift card to paint their birch trees.

Backgrounds of their choice are

starting to be created. Students have the option of the medium to

use, as well as the realistic design they would like to use for their

landscape.

Fourth grade is starting their

Impressionist landscape project.

After learning about the


Impressionist movement, students

looked at examples of the artwork in that style and the artists who

created them: Van Gogh, Monet, Seurrat. Students used photograph

examples of landscapes as a

reference to help them draw a landscape of their choice. Next,

students will learn several oil pastel techniques, with their sketch in

mind. This will help them determine

which technique will work best for certain parts of their drawing.

Blending, scumbling, and stippling will be explored.

Notan artwork is the focus of the 5th

grade classes. They are working on creating a design, which focuses on

the concept of positive and negative

space, as well as contrast. Students chose to use either a rectangle or

square piece of black paper to create their design on. Once the

design is drawn, students will cut out their design, being sure to keep

all pieces. A background paper of

their choice will showcase their black paper design, which will have

certain parts flipping out from the original black paper. Excellent

craftsmanship when cutting and

gluing helps to make this artwork more advanced and eye appealing.

Music

We’ve jumped right back into music

at Franklin with singing, dancing, and playing instruments. First

graders have been learning several action songs to engage their minds

and bodies. Not only are these

songs fun, but they help them learn

the rules of the classroom, explore

the pitch set of sol, mi, and la, and develop an awareness of space.

They’ve also worked on playing unpitched percussion and simple

borduns on the xylophones as they

sing and play “Burnie Bee”. Soon they’ll decode the piece and

compose with sol, mi, and la.

In 2nd grade, the students are

exploring the pitch set of Do, Mi, Sol, and La through their songs.

Soon they’ll discover their new note Do! They have also explored

melodic contour by matching their movements to simple melodies

played on the Orff instruments.

They’re also working on a new Polish welcome song, which will

eventually allow them to improvise rhythms and lead the class using

echo imitation.

The 3rd graders used the poem

“Pease Porridge Hot” to create an unpitched percussion piece during

one week, and then used it again to

explore the five untransposed pentatonic scales on the Orff

instruments the next week. We also discussed the importance of silence

in music and during movement activities so that our movements are

purposeful and thoughtful. To help

reinforce this concept, we read the book “The Night at the Museum”

and played the game night guard. The students then revisited their

mirroring and shadowing concepts

as they responded to music and led the class using these concepts.

The 4th grade classes were

enthusiastic as they literally jumped in with our introduction chant “Jump

In, Jump Out”. They got to introduce themselves, tell us what

they like and what they can do. We

also discussed non-locomotor movements and explored those

movements while dancing on newspapers and during the song

“Hands Like This”. To work on

audiating music, the 4th graders learned the song “To Stop the

Train” and slowly took out the words but showed the movements

of the song until they were audiating the entire piece. They

then took this to the next level by

singing it in a four-part canon.

We also discussed the major and

minor scales and began exploring the Dorian mode through a piece

found in the Music for Children volumes by Carl Orff and Gunild

Keetman. The students were given a skeleton outline of the melody and

slowly learned the piece on

xylophones. This is one of the hardest songs they’ve attempted on

these instruments, because they are no longer using the pentatonic

scales and are using all of the bars

on the instrument.

In 5th grade, we reviewed singing our solfege scale using a beach ball

as my last attempt to hold on to summer. We’ve also been discussing

proper vocal technique and

evaluating different choirs in preparation for their first experience


as choral members. They are quite

enthusiastic and are fast learners when it comes to their choral music;

I’m looking forward to seeing what this group is capable of. They are

also learning the handclapping

game “Slide” which combines patterns of one, two, and three.

This will help prepare them as they explore mixed and uneven meters.

In October, they’ll begin learning a

piece on xylophones using these meters and an autumn poem. Of

course we’ll have to have a little fun jumping through various shapes

that will inspire our own compositions in mixed meters. After

reviewing the C major scale, the

students were then given a xylophone and two accidental bars

(F# and Bb) and in small groups, they had to figure out how to create

a G and F scale. It was great seeing

how quickly they could discern which pitches sounded different.

However, they’ll quickly learn how these modes also play a role in

music.

Jefferson

Elementary

Art

Welcome back and thanks for supporting the Jefferson Arts by

reading!

First graders are starting out the

year with TWO new lessons! One is a throwback to the dinosaur age,

when Mrs. Ciotti was in elementary art, Plaster Handprints. These will

be primed, and then painted with

primary colors. The other lesson is a funky self-portrait while learning

about lines, and basic color mixing.

Painting is also showing up in our

2nd grade art classes with their tree silhouettes. The students are

learning about tints, silhouettes and how to make trees. We discuss

how trees change with different seasons, even in silhouette. The

end results are full of personality.

Third grades are learning about Paul

Klee. We discuss art from our dreams, and we concentrate on "Cat

and Bird" by Paul Klee, though the

kids can pick whatever animal they want.

Origami is the subject for our first

4th grade project, though their

creations don't end up as traditional origami, we use them to learn about

dynamic composition.

Music

Jefferson’s musicians are off to a great start this fall! Students met

their new music teacher, Mrs. Meyer. The classrooms are alive

with lots of singing, dancing, body percussion, name games,

instruments, and more. All grade

levels are focusing on pitch and melody this month, and will learn

more about dynamics as we move into October and November.

First graders started the year

reviewing steady beat and singing a

variety of sol-mi songs. They are practicing identifying when a melody

moves up, down, or stays the same and exploring levels with games

like, “Not My Level” and “Elevator.”

They have started working on music

for the Fall Sing-a-long with “Turkey Dinner Dance.”

The 2nd graders shared what they

did over the summer with Mrs. Meyer in song form; we learned

who went to camp, who went on a

trip, and even who had ice cream! We are learning a set dance about a

sneaky squirrel who gathers nuts and seeds to store for winter.

Students are taking turns being the leader in several echo songs. As fall

moves along, we will be drawing our

own treble clefs and diving in to steps, skips, leaps, and repeats.

The 3rd graders jumped right in to

learning a two-part chant about Fuzzy Wuzzy the bear. Students

played drums and xylophones set to

speech and practiced rotating instruments over eight beats.

Student leaders are enjoying the game Poison Pattern (your student

may also call it the Sol-La-Mi game) where they try to stump the class

with a particular solfege pattern.

They are also working on the song “Green Bean Casserole” and can’t

wait to share it with you at the Sing-a-long in November.

Fourth graders start every class with

some body percussion warm ups.

We are exploring different rhythm patterns and form; that is, how the

music is organized. The song Gilly Gilly Gilly Good Morning has been a

big hit, and if you listen carefully, you can usually hear some

musicians singing it in the hallways

or after school. Later this month we will be learning about the Orff

instruments- we can’t wait!

Fifth graders introduced themselves

with Up the Ladder Down the Ladder. We are discussing the

difference between major and minor tonalities and have used the theme

from The Pink Panther as an example. Next, we will be learning


about scales. Our students who play

an instrument are excited to share what they know!

The 5th grade chorus is off to a

great start! They have begun

working on selections for the holiday concert. We are so proud of

all our student musicians and it is a pleasure to be part of the Jefferson

family!

McKinley

Elementary

Art

This year in art students were welcomed by their new art teacher,

Ms. Sarnowski. She is thrilled to be at McKinley Elementary School and

is looking forward to an exciting

year helping her students grow as artists! As a fun back to school

activity, students in all grade levels used contour lines, only focusing on

line and without coloring, to draw some of their favorite things to

share about themselves. Their

artwork was hung all throughout the school to brighten the hallways and

build a sense of pride in their creations.

First graders viewed video

performances to learn about West

African djembe drums, djembe meaning “everyone together.”

Students had fun as they practiced staying on beat with the songs,

combining visual art and music. Finally, students practiced their

drawing skills by creating their own

2-D djembe drum using pattern to show the Elements of Design; lines,

shapes, and colors.

In 2nd grade, students are learning about the type of artwork called a

“seascape” scape meaning “a picture of” and viewed the artwork

of Winslow Homer, a famous artist

from Massachusetts. They viewed pictures of different paintings

created by Homer, and discussed the content they saw. Students are

creating their own seascape,

brainstorming what they would like to add to personalize their artwork,

practicing drawing skills, and experimenting with color mixing

through the use of watercolor

paint.

Third grade classes viewed images of still life artwork by Paul Cezanne.

They learned some personal history about Cezanne in order to make

connections and discussed his style,

color usage, and objects of choice. After practicing blending technique

with oil pastels, they will draw their own still life, focusing mainly on

fruits, paying special attention to

highlight and shadow to create 3-D looking forms.

By viewing artworks by Monet and

Van Gogh, 4th grade students were introduced to the style of artwork

Impressionism. Focusing on landscape, students discussed the

route meaning of impression, color,

capturing light, and the short, visible brush strokes Impressionism

is characterized by. By choosing their own landscape image as

inspiration, students will then

creatively interpret and re-produced the image with oil pastels to

experiment with texture and color application.

Studying different architecture

opens a window to travel the world! The 5th graders learned about

architecture and architects,

selecting an image of a famous building to draw as the basis of their

painting. Students will use the grid method of drawing to enlarge and

transfer their image onto their final

artwork paper. They will review color theory and complete a color

exercise to experiment with their

favorite color pallet. They will use

their painting skills and techniques to create a painting of the famous

landmark in their desired color palette, combining a realistic

drawing with a bright and abstract

color scheme.

Music

The 1st and 2nd graders have been

getting back into a musical routine.

Students have already been reading rhythms and melodic patterns! Both

grades have used bells and boomwhackers to play different

melodic patterns. This month they

have been working on showing melodies getting higher and lower,

composing their own pentatonic songs and learning fun songs to

help reinforce concepts like Ozzy the Octopus in 2nd grade.

Fourth graders have been working with chrome music lab to explore

intervals. Students have created their own compositions using

unisons, thirds and

octaves. Students will continue composing this year and learning

more about how songs are made up.

The 5th graders have been learning about the Star Spangled Banner this

month. Along with our national anthem, they have been identifying

the intervals in the song, and adding in solfege to it. In chorus,

we are already working on our

holiday music, which will be featured, at our concert at 7pm on

December 11.


Tamaques

Elementary

Art

Welcome back! We are all eagerly awaiting another wonderful year of

art making! This year all grade

levels will create a project that focuses on Social and Emotional

Learning (SEL).

Students will experience the process of art making as a means of

reducing worry and anxiety in their daily lives. They will be introduced

to Guatemalan “Worry Dolls” and

create appropriate grade level versions inspired by the Mayan

children’s dolls. The legend holds that the children can tell the worry

dolls their troubles, and then lay

them under their pillow at night so that they can rest peacefully. It

reinforces the notion that children should share their problems with

others to lessen their burdens. In addition to worry dolls, we will be

learning about the Elements and

Principals of Design through the exploration of creative process and

play through a wide assortment of materials. It’s going to be an

“artrageous” year!

4th gr. fiber worry dolls

5th gr. mixed media worry dolls

Music Welcome back everyone! The

Tamaques musicians are off to a

very strong start this school year. One of the district’s goals is to

promote Social-Emotional Learning and this was incorporated into some

of the first lessons for the year. First

grade students identified and voiced their “first day” emotions before

reading “The Music Teacher from the Black Lagoon.” In the story, the

main character is also starting their first music class and experiences

various emotions as well. Students

in fifth grade filled out a Musical Driver’s License where they self-

reflected on aspects of their identity and set musical and personal goals

for the year. In other grade levels,

we used ACT IT OUT cards to discuss real life music class conflicts

that may occur throughout the year and used role-play to brainstorm

different ways to make each situation better.

Our content area focus for September has been melody, and

the way that music moves. Some activities we have been working

with to learn about melody include:

-Singing new songs like "This is the

House that Jack Built" with a book to go along with it and "What is In

My Lunchbox?" (1st), "Miles and

Miles" about outer space (2nd), and

a song about a singing robot called

"Robot Round" (3rd/4th)

-Reading music for Boomwhackers (color-coded plastic tubes that are

tuned to different notes by length)

on the two-line and five-line staff

-Hearing melodies played on piano or sung and notating what we hear

with bingo chips on laminated staff

sheets (2nd/3rd/4th)

-Playing from low to high, high to low, steps, skips, and repeating

patterns on a Play Doh Piano using Makey-Makey Software (2nd)

-Starting our group Commercial Projects by developing fictional

products and writing our ads/composing jingles to “sell” them

(5th)

I am very excited for the rest of this

year and I can't wait to see what your musicians create next!

Tamaques & Washington 4th & 5th Grade Band

Tamaques School

Walk to School Day Performance The Tamaques and Washington 4th

grade band students are super

excited about learning their new instruments! Band lessons began

the week of September 9, and we are now fully in the swing of things.

The intent is to instill in students practice goals for themselves and to

work at a challenging yet

appropriate pace. Some students


have really taken off with their

instruments and are rapidly improving! The Washington and

Tamaques 5th Grade band students have mostly all re-enrolled and are

ready to take on the year! The

students are working especially on breathing, fingerings, tonguing,

reading notes, and concert repertoire.

Washington School

First Day Performance

After a summer of limited playing,

the Washington 5th graders actually performed for the first day of school

in the courtyard! Parents and friends gathered around to enjoy

this first day of school musical experience! Some of the Tamaques

5th graders willingly performed for

Walk to School Day on September 25 in front of the school. Both

groups played fun tunes from our method book and had the crowd

going wild!

Don’t forget to mark your calendars. The Tamaques 5th Grade Band and

Chorus Holiday Concert is

Wednesday, December 11 at 7pm in the Tamaques School auditorium.

The Washington 5th Grade Band and Chorus Concert is Wednesday,

December 18 at 7pm in the

Washington School auditorium. See you there!

Washington

Elementary

Art

Art at Washington School is off to a great start! Everyone is thrilled to

have an art room this year. This

creative space will allow students to use a wider range of materials and

make more masterpieces than ever before.

First grade students are beginning

their year by reviewing the

foundational elements and principles

of design. Starting with line, they are exploring the many ways they

can curve, bend, and change their marks on the paper to form various

shapes. This trimester they will be

drawing, painting, and even building with lines.

In the 2nd grade, artists are

investigating landscapes. The unit

began by listening to Robert Frost’s famous poem, Birches. Students

used this text as inspiration for a painting of trees. They are now

experimenting with paper and

watercolor to collage a vibrant forest. Soon they will make a paper

sculpture of a concrete jungle, New York City.

Third grade students are becoming

skilled typographers by using their powers of observation to study


fonts. Deciphering the difference

between Roman and Gothic text while also locating serifs on letters,

has made for some fun scavenger hunts. They have applied their new

expertise to a radial design of their

own name, as well as a three-dimensional initial built out of

cardboard.

Artists in the 4th grade are learning

about proportion in human figures and faces. After working with

wooden mannequins, they now

know that the average person is 7.5 heads tall. This knowledge is being

applied to both small and large-scale pieces of dancing people, as

often seen in the work of Keith

Haring.

Fifth grade artists are working on a

number of colorful creations. They have teamed up to connect a

collection of shaded crayons. These

oil pastel pieces truly appear to pop

off the page. Students will complete

this exploration by building sculptures of crayons from recycled

materials. This will ultimately lead to a deeper understanding of color

theory in future studies.

Washington School is sure to start bursting with beautiful art very

soon!

Music

Extra, extra, sing all about it! Washington School is so excited to

announce that we have a music room! This means that we will get

to use more instruments, move

more artfully in a wide-open space, and use more visual tools to help us

with our music learning this year.

First graders are starting to explore

the music room and begin to learn

the procedures and new songs for music class. They are becoming

experts on using their singing voice instead of their talking voice, and

they are learning simple songs like

“Frog in the Meadow” and “No More Pie.” Over the next few months they

will keep building their repertoire of these simple songs, learning games

to go with them; these songs will be the building blocks for other future

musical activities in the year to

come.

The 2nd graders are already getting in the spooky spirit to prepare for

the Fall Sing-Along. They will use

dynamic contrast and minor tonality to sing songs like “Stirring the Brew”

and “Skin and Bones.” As we move

into October, students will add to their known vocabulary about

dynamics like piano and forte, and apply those in the songs they

practice for the Sing-Along.

Third grade students are learning

new songs and games for “Charlie Over the Ocean” and “Let Us Chase

the Squirrel,” a great way to start

the year. They will continue to learn more about formal notation and

how notes relate to each other as we go through the fall. The 3rd

graders’ study of dynamics will expand to include crescendos,

diminuendos, and accents, all

details that make a big difference in musical performance.

Fourth graders are learning more

about their singing voices and the

vocal warm-up process with songs like “To Stop the Train” that teach

them how to use their best voice and sing as one group. They will use

instruments like Boomwhackers and

metallophones to experience the idea of scales and intervals as many

of them begin their instruction on a band or orchestra instrument.

The 5th graders have already had a

very busy year! At the end of the

second full week of school we went to Camp Fairview Lake, where

adventuring and singing were both on the agenda. They did a fabulous

job singing some of their favorite

songs around a campfire while roasting marshmallows. They have

also begun their chorus rehearsals, and are already looking ahead to

the winter concert, where they will have their debut performance as the

Washington School Chorus. The

year is certainly off to a musical start!


Wilson

Elementary Art

Mrs. Lehmberg returned to Wilson

School as the new art teacher after substitute teaching in the art room

for several months in the spring.

She was delighted to become reacquainted with the 2nd - 5th grade

students and to meet the 1st graders and other students who are new to

Wilson School. Many students

were pleasantly surprised that the art room had been reconfigured

during the summer months and now has a carpeted area and an extra

worktable providing more space for creating works of art.

During their first meeting of the year, each art class gathered on the

carpet to listen to Peter Reynolds book, Ish, which reaffirms that we

are all artists, each with our own

unique way of seeing the world and creating art. They learned that

artists use sketchbooks to practice skills, capture ideas, and for

sketching and drawing. Each artist designed their own sketchbook

cover that incorporated their name

and something about themselves. They used construction paper

crayons, which provided vibrant, saturated colors to bring their ideas

to life. Artists will use their

sketchbooks throughout the school year to practice techniques and try

out new ideas.

All classes completed grade level art

pre-assessments. The pre-assessments provide a baseline of

understanding and assist with lesson planning. Throughout the

school year, artists will engage in art lessons based on the elements

of art and principles of design.

Artists were introduced to the

element of line, which was used to

create a variety of patterned projects. Next up will be shape and

color theory, along with a school wide collaborative art project, which

will be displayed in the art room.

Lincoln

School

The start of the school year has

been a busy one here at Lincoln School. Our students were read a

story called “The Dot” by Peter

Reynolds in which a little girl needs to “Make a mark, and see where is

takes her.” The students at Lincoln school are ready to “Make Their

Mark in Art” too as we work on

becoming social and emotional learners during the process of

making art!

In kindergarten, we got busy right from day one – drawing, coloring,

cutting and gluing! Our first unit of the year will be “Lines, Lines,

Lines!” involving 3-D sculpture

building and some painting using the color wheel. Then we'll bring a

little autumn fun to the classroom with pumpkins, monsters and

turkeys.

Our little friends in Pre-K will be busy with our first unit - learning all

about shapes. We created mosaic pattern letters using the

letter that starts our names. We

imagined what we could make using the book, “Ten Black Dots,” by

Donald Crews. Mondrian will be the focus artist in Oct. as we will

follow his “maps” and design our

own shape maps. Nov. will bring a focus on texture using fall and

Thanksgiving as a theme.

Lincoln School has been full of

music this September and October! Kindergartners have learned about

solfege, high and low sounds and have even played the step bells and

xylophones! This fall students will be learning how to read music and

will even be making their own

compositions! It's going to be a great year!
