Art Room News

Hello RHPS Artists,

The art room is getting very messy with magiclay icing and papier mache galore!!!

The prep students have been super busy using magicaly! This awesome resource which is a combination of playdough/plasticine, has helped us to not only ice and decorate our cupcakes but it has helped our finemotor skills by rolling, squishing, cutting, pulling and using all our finger muscles. They look so tasty!!!!! Some of the cupcakes even have a little critter on top. (Ask your child about the story....and the cockroach)

The Grade 1/2s have shown amazing papier mache abilities. This isn't the easiest of tasks, but they have all shown persistence and teamwork. Helping each other when necessary and pushing through on our first layers of papier mache. I can't wait to see these fabulous creatures come to life!
