The fourth graders studied the Ancient Egyptian Art and its purpose and meaning and created their own Sarcophagus designs using metallic markers and colored pencils on a black paper. They incorporated the Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns to decorate the Sarcophagus and the background.

Students are learning about artistic concepts such as symmetry, contrast, balance, and positive/negative space through various Halloween Projects.

North School is proud to have many creative and highly motivated students, who work hard and produce marvelous works of art. The teachers, staff members, and parents of North School are very supportive of our students’ artistic endeavors, celebrate their artistic achievements, and appreciate the value of art education and its profound impact on student learning. Each class has art once a week for forty-five minutes, and the students accomplish a lot in art class. We look forward to having another artistically successful school year and thank you for visiting our website regularly to find out what is happening in our school’s art program.
