Lower School Masters "Art On A Cart"

main image

This year's art classes, affectionately dubbed as "Art on a Cart" may be portable, but that doesn't mean they are any less fun! 

With each unit focusing on a different aspect of art, last week's unit involved bringing in artistic concepts from folk art, specifically from the country of Mexico.

"This lesson covered folk art, as well as warm and cool colors," said art teacher, Anna Boyer. "Folk art allows for fun and vibrant art while learning a few new concepts about color theory."

Fitz Lee, a kindergartner from Mrs. Orth's class liked the project because "the painting used really cool colors."

Fellow classmate, Athan Dimitrious added, "making the patterns and drawing your favorite ones made it fun."

"Students in grades K-5 do a great job," Boyer noted, "and they continue to be positive despite the challenges of Art On A Cart!"

Thank you, Mrs. Boyer for immersing the lower school students in art history and different artistic techniques through fun and colorful lessons and projects.

While the nation was at the polls voting for the next President, PCA's lower school was also at the polls, voting for this year's Student Council. After all of the votes were counted, we are excited to announce the results: 

President: Greta Kate Surratt
Vice President: Andrew Pinkel
Secretary: Heyward Neely
Treasurer: Jane Craft
5th Grade Representatives: Emorie Ray and Will Terry
4th Grade Representatives: Madelyn Goulette and Caden Spear
3rd Grade Representatives: Hadley Silvester and William Newbern

When asked what she hoped to accomplish this year in her role as President, Greta Kate said, "I plan to make our school a better place by listening to other students and working to accomplish their ideas."

Student Council Members had their first meeting with Dr. Martin this past Thursday and already they are hard at work. First up, lower school students will be joining the upper school Student Broadcast team for Friday announcements starting this week!

Dr. Martin says that his goal for this year's Student Council is, "to work together to find what God is leading us to do for the school so we can be a blessing."

We can't wait to see what these young leaders bring to the PCA community.
