SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK MUSICAL in 10 days!

The Falcon Academy of Creative Arts will be performing Schoolhouse Rock on Monday, May 23rd at 7:00 P.M.!  Tickets are $5.00 and you don't want to miss it!  The visual arts department of FACA has been working hard to finalize the backdrop, some costumes (t-shirts) and the props!

Fourth Grade Zig Zag Paintings Are Complete!

Students painted a realistic version of themselves and an unrealistic version of themselves....

One direction shows a painting in garish, unconventional colors...

While the other direction shows them in true-to-life form with tints and shades in their painting.

Inspiration for this artwork came from my colleague, Mrs. Tannert and her zig zag creations.  Check her out at http://suffieldart.blogspot.com/.

Getting Ready for School House Rock!

While our school chorus is vigorously practicing for their May performance of Schoolhouse Rock, we decided to work some visual magic and tackle the logo for the backdrop on this nine foot by twelve foot tarp.  Once again students are combining talents for amazing outcomes!  Also I just changed the work on display in our Student Art Gallery to reflect some of their latest creations.  Check out the photos down below or stop in and see it for yourself!

Art Rocks was a HUGE success!

Friday night's visual arts display was a huge success.  Thank you to all who came out to support our children and their love of the arts.  Thank you especially to The Falcon Academy PTA for supplying all of the food for the evening and to the sixth grade students who served the food.  Thank you also to the staff and parent volunteers who helped with many behind the scenes aspects of the show that made it all possible.  Lastly, thank you to Chief Blough who volunteered his time to auction off our hand painted rocking chairs.  Because of his efforts and the beautiful work of our children, we were able to raise a great amount of money to further enhance our art program! 

Many families came out to enjoy the beautiful art!

My son especially took a liking to Chief Blough!

There were twelve blue ribbon winners judged and awarded by members of our governing board.  Congratulations to these students!

Our dancer mosaic project made it up just in time!  Stop in and see these permanent pieces of art!

A little bit of high school

Part of my position teaching here at The Falcon Academy of Creative Arts is the opportunity I have to travel each day to Field High School and teach an art one course of there.  Like working with the children here, it also significant to me on many levels.  I love the diversity of nurturing the creativity of older students with higher ability.  Recently, they have astounded me with their self portrait projects.  Check them out...
