Here at Gloria Deo, art is a vital part of the educational process. Our Art Room inccoperates multicultural lessons, career driven projects, and self-motivational activities. My goal in teaching is to promote responsible individuality, respect for one’s self and society, and a desire to persevere through all obstacles. This philosophy can be used in faith, marriage, parenting and just life in general. This blog will be dedicated to all of the above. <>< Mrs. Herren

Underwater World

The first graders are working on creating unique underwater scenes.  We are drawing in black crayon them unsing watercolor pait to creat an "underwater" look. 

4th grade portraits: United States Presidents

Each year the 4th graders study the Presidents of the United States.  They are allowed to select one president to create a bust portriat of.  They must also research their president outside of class and come up with three interesting facts about his presidency.
This year I have challenged the 4th grader and myself.  I have set a goal to for myself to memorize all of the presidents in order before this project comes to a close.  The class quizzed me today and I got 39 out of 44 correct... just a little more studying!
