    Summer wishes and U.N. awards

    Artdc24

    This week in the Art room we have been giving back work and trying to make room to complete the last of this year's projects. PK worked on bead sculptures. Kinder through 2nd grade worked on expressing their wishes for a happy Summer with symbols instead of words. 
    Kinder and 1st grade finished two small murals on canvas that will be hung in the front office this week. 1st grade also designed animal patterned costumes that they will wear on Monday for their musical performance with Mrs. Zwi. 
    Some students from all grades where chosen -- based on their constant good behavior throughout the year -- to decorate our office windows with glass paint. 
    3rd graders drew on T-shirts using fabric markers and others finished painting umbrellas glass cups and vases. 

    Also this week, an Art reception was held at the Martin Luther King Library in downtown DC for the winners of the North American division of the UNEP-Bayer International Children's Painting Competition to foster environmental awareness. Three of our Oyster students were among the winners: Luka Boadle was awarded D.C.'s "Best Artist", Laine Holman won DC's "2nd Best" and Natalie Fernandez received a special recognition. 

    The students got to discuss their work with the event's special guest Dr. Mae Jemison, who was the first African-American woman to become a NASA astronaut and fly in space, aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in 1992. Since her retirement from NASA, Dr. Jemison has dedicated herself to promoting the se of science to improve our planet's environment.
