8th grade final humanitarian portraits. These students worked with me on these exclusively through a screen. I am so grateful for their conviction, commitment and success. Congratulations - I will miss working with them. - Fine Arts Teacher, Sharon Ferguson #congratulationsgraduates #finearts #arteveryday #humanitarian #portrait #pencildrawing #rvws #rivervalleywaldorfschool #waldorf #waldorfeducation #waldorfschool #waldorfcurriculum #waldorfpedagogy #alternativeeducation #childhoodunplugged #screenfreekids #screenfreeparenting #buckscounty #buckscountypa #buckscountyprivateschool #buckscountyschool #upperblackeddy #hunterdoncounty #hunterdoncountynj #northamptoncounty #northamptoncountypa #whywaldorfworks #childdevelopment #handsonlearning

Gigantic hats off to our 5th-grade students for the courage to take on this Georgia O'Keeffe inspired flower at home with guidance only through a screen. Each student rendered the flower specific to their state they chose for their geography projects - tying in their work with botany from earlier in the year as well. This was a value study where an underpainting of charcoal was taught, created, and sealed before they took on applying value in color pastel on top. You can see the focus required for these young students to arrive at a pastel painting in the end that retained the values of both the charcoal and pastel. This is just a sampling of those who progressed the farthest. We will revisit and complete this work in the classroom in the fall. All demonstrated such comprehension of their medium and keen observation! I think it was an incredible homage to Georgia O'Keeffe. Christina Hummel "Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time. When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment." -Georgia O'Keeffe #arteveryday #arteducation #arteducationmatters #botany #stateproject #georgiaokeefe #rvws #rivervalleywaldorfschool #waldorf #waldorfeducation #waldorfschool #waldorfcurriculum #waldorfpedagogy #alternativeeducation #childhoodunplugged #screenfreekids #screenfreeparenting #buckscounty #buckscountypa #buckscountyprivateschool #buckscountyschool #upperblackeddy #hunterdoncounty #hunterdoncountynj #northamptoncounty #northamptoncountypa #whywaldorfworks #childdevelopment #handsonlearning

Our 4th graders have a lot to celebrate finishing

Our 4th graders have a lot to celebrate finishing off a year of exploring the expressive qualities of art using color, line, pattern, and negative and positive space with their bird relief prints. The transition to distance learning was perhaps the most challenging for our youngest students, but their work illustrates the will, heart, and enthusiasm they channeled to create these expressive portraits of their favorite birds studied in their main lesson block with their teacher Ms. Watson. #arteveryday #arteducation #blockprinting #animalblock #incorporateart #rvws #rivervalleywaldorfschool #waldorf #waldorfeducation #waldorfschool #waldorfcurriculum #waldorfpedagogy #alternativeeducation #childhoodunplugged #screenfreekids #screenfreeparenting #buckscounty #buckscountypa #buckscountyprivateschool #buckscountyschool #upperblackeddy #hunterdoncounty #hunterdoncountynj #northamptoncounty #northamptoncountypa #whywaldorfworks #childdevelopment #handsonlearning
