It was really great to see so many Irving faces at the Main Library for the art opening! If you couldn't make it that day, don't worry, the exhibit will be up through the end of September.

School Wide Self Portraits
This year, each student is drawing their self portrait on the first day they come to art. Pretty soon the hallways will be full of the self portraits made by all of the Irving students!
The classes looked at and discussed self portraits made by several different artists. We talked about things that are the same about all of the portraits and things that are different. The students all noticed that each artist has their own style that is evident in their self portrait.
Here are some of the images we looked at:
Frida Kahlo
Vincent van Gogh
Jean Michel Basquiat
Pablo Picasso
Chuck Close

Welcome Back to the Art Room!
I am so excited to be starting a new school year and to see all of the returning students as well as all of the new students coming to Irving this year!
Throughout the year I will be posting information about what each grade level is working on in art on the grade level tabs found at the top of this page. To the left are links to fun art websites, other teacher blogs, and ArtSonia where you will find Irving's online art museum.
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Farewell Irving 5th Graders!
My first year at Irving was when the current 5th graders were in 3rd grade. Time really flies and I've enjoyed getting to know the students for the past three years. It is hard to believe they are already heading off to middle school!
I will especially miss my lunch-time art helpers next year! Several girls have been coming to the art room once a week to help me with various things, a few have been helping out since they were in 4th grade. This is a picture of the back-drop they created for the send-off on Friday. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it is about 7x4 feet. The girls worked together to paint it after I created a simple outline, they did a great job! It was hung in the gym and students were able to take pictures in front of it during the luncheon that followed the send-off.
Good luck in middle school, 5th graders! It's been fun getting to know you the past three years and we'll miss you at Irving!

What Ms. Linne is working on...
I am working on getting my master's degree in art education and wanted to share with you what I have been learning about.
Right now I am in a course about the history of art education. I have been learning about the way that art was taught during the Renaissance. Often, art students were required to copy the work of more experienced or "master" artists. For my most recent assignment I had to draw a exact copies of two photos I was given by my teacher. Take a look at my finished drawings to see how I did.
