From the Specials Team: Art Classes at Collins
In Art class, we are finishing up our study of the element of art, Line. Students in grades Kindergarten and 1st grade completed a skill study for drawing, painting, cutting and gluing lines. Students in 2nd and 3rd grade created art by drawing and painting a variety of lines and students in grades 4th and 5th grade studied how artists use lines to show the contour of an object. Our next units will be the study of how artists use shape in their art and we will also discuss how we can explore the concept of identity through art.

Hispanic Heritage Month
We are asking all of our families to send in different items to celebrate Hispanic heritage and contribute to our mural. This includes: photos and biographies of hispanic family members, family photos of vacations to Hispanic countries, favorite recipes and artwork that is inspired by the Hispanic culture. We would like everyone to participate in this mural! Please make a copy of photos as we will not be able to return these items.
You can send these items with your child to school or submit them via email to our Parent and Community Liaison, Araceli McBeth: araceli.mcbeth@dvisd.net
