Congratulations to the 36 Ginter Park Elementary art students who have had their art exhibited throughout the community during the month of March. We are so proud of you!

Art Club has begun!

Art club has begun once again at Ginter Park Elementary School. Students are working hard on their collages inspired by African American woman artist, Howardena Pindell. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) https://www.vmfa.museum/ has an excellent exhibition currently of her works of art.

Welcome to Art-School Year 2018-2019

Art has begun and each Ginter Park student has been creating a feather. On top of the feather it reads, "Ginter Park Elementary is important because....". Students thought about and wrote why our school is important to them. After completing the feathers they will be transformed into a pair of wings.

Printmaking is so cool!

Third grade artists discovered the instant joy of printmaking.

Good Luck Ms. Ferguson!

We have enjoyed hosting Ms. Ferguson our VCU Art Education student teacher for the past 8 weeks. Thanks for doing an excellent job!  We will miss you, and we know you will go on to do many great things in the art world!

4th Grade Working on their Accordion Style Books

Art Enhances and Builds Upon other Subjects at Ginter Park

Ginter Park Elementary students are working on a variety of interdisciplinary art units. Kindergarten art students are using math shapes to create artistic pizzas. First grade students are using math shapes to create snowmen. Second grade art students are printmaking by creating stamps with geometric shapes. Third grade students are learning about architecture through creating imaginary watercolor paintings inspired by Austrian artist, Hundertwasser. Fourth grade art students are finishing up their accordion styles books which they used to write poems inside about themselves. And finally, fifth grade art students are creating abstract style paintings using plant and animal cell structures. Our students understand they can use art to enhance and build upon other classroom subjects!
