We have our first Golden Paintbrush Award Winners!
Each week, one student from All Saints and St. James schools will be featured in a blog post with their artwork and first names. I (Mrs. Gilligan) also have mini certificates for students to give them during their next art class. We decided to use the blog instead of posting the winners pictures in the school hallway to allow more Broome County Catholic School students to see the winners artwork and to make it less confusing with the art schedule. This way students don't need to physically see me to know whether or not they won the award for that week, they can check the blog and see some awesome artwork and artists featured.
Drumroll....
Almost there, I promise!
Students win the Golden Paintbrush Award by putting lots of effort into their art work each class, good artist behavior during class, respecting the art room and materials, and being kind to their classmates. The Golden Paintbrush winner is a student that tries extra hard and goes above and beyond what is required for art class. I try to select a different hardworking student each week. Each class is a new chance for all students.

Nicholas- 6th Grade
Nicholas has been working hard on his "What I did this summer" drawing, going slow and taking his time to add layers and visual interest. He wanted to show the park from the viewpoint of a ride, above the treetops. I do not have set deadlines for artwork for this very reason, Nicholas has been working very hard each class, carefully coloring to get rid of all the white lines, shouldn't that take a lot of time? I'm looking forward to seeing the finished work hanging in the hallway with our other summer drawings before we start shifting into fall!
Colin- 2nd Grade
Colin created this drawing for the Original Artworks Fundraiser. He picked one of the harder lessons we spoke about and made the decision to sit at a table quietly by himself and got right to work. He sketched first to plan out where he wanted his circles. Colin then very carefully colored sections of his geometric abstract drawing, making sure to pick different colors based on how they were separated by the large intersecting lines. Great job Colin!
