Start With Hello is an organization created by members of the Sandy Hook Promise. Their mission is to create a culture engaged in preventing shootings, violence, and other harmful acts in schools. Their words, actions, and impact nationwide are intended to honor all victims of gun violence by turning their tragedy into a moment of transformation. Start With Hello Week raises awareness about social isolation and educates students and the community on how to prevent it. Mrs. Wirth placed sticky notes on every student's locker to greet them on Tuesday. Mr. Lowry's class made positive posters to hang throughout the school in addition to a banner that all students of the school were able to sign as their pledge to
"start with hello."

The second Element students practiced was Color. First, students learned about the color wheel and opposite (complimentary colors). For this project, they created color wheels by drawing a short word or their initials. They filled the outside spaces with the colors of the color wheel, and the inside spaces with the corresponding opposite color. Works created by Isabella Sohaski (top left) Madison Loveless (top right) Addyson Foltz (bottom left) and Haylee Bryan (bottom right). Next, students studied different color schemes, such as Achromatic (no color), Monochromatic (1 color + black and white), Analogous (next to each other on the color wheel) and finally, Triadic Colors (which are evenly spaced on the color wheel). They traced geometric shapes and used tempera paint to create this project.

For this project, they traced leaves and drew rings of circles by using a compass. They filled the leaves with the warm colors and the background contained the cool colors. Students used colored pencils for this project. Top row, left to right: Carrie Watson and Daytona Barron

To engage children in an exciting, free, and safe creative space while highlighting the importance that the arts (specifically visual art) are an integral part of every community and 2. To advertise and raise interest for the performance group Artrageous that will be performing at the PCOFA on September 15th.
On September 8th, Artfest had it's grand opening at Twin lakes Park in Paris. It was 2 hours of mess-making fun! Some of the art stations included squirt gun painting, shaving cream painting, balloon/dart painting and more! Children of all ages enjoyed the event. Some art activities resulted in projects the kids were able to take home, other projects were collaborative efforts that will be used to decorate the PCOFA for this weekend when Artrageous appears. The show will be this Sunday the 15th at 3:30pm - tickets are $10 for children, $25 for adult. Visit https://www.pcofa.net/ to purchase tickets.

They reviewed the primary/secondary colors and how they're arranged on the color wheel (see the Umbrella art project) which led to learning about opposite colors (see the Watercolor Trees) and lastly, they've learned the warm and cool colors by painting the Sunrise paintings and the Sun&Moon paintings. Awesome job, kiddos! working hard in art class - painting their sunrises Warm & Cool Colors(from left to right) Artworks by Rob Kelly, Asher Dean and Landen Cowger Artwork by Trinity Hughes Watercolor Trees with Opposite Colors(from top to bottom) Artworks by Jamie Prouse, Dylan Floyd-Miller, and Rob Kelly Color Wheel Umbrellas(from left to right)
