Friday Stations

Each Friday students have the opportunity to create fun mini projects at different stations in the art room. Today the fourth graders are stamping, learning to write Chinese characters, drawing mARTy the art fish, and making braided friendship bracelets!

Our Dragon!

Here is the finished product of our Whitetail Creek dragon for the all school carnival! The fifth grade art club did a great job painting our dragon. They also came up with the concept of having each student in the school add a handprint in the background so that everyone could feel involved. Great work! ...and check out that white tail.

Gretna Dragons!

The all school carnival is quickly approaching and each elementary school is responsible for creating a Gretna Dragon to represent their school. The fifth grade art club has been hard at work getting our dragon ready for its big debut!

Monochromatic Guitars

5th graders have been learning about the influential artist, Pablo Picasso. They learned about cubism and looked and images from Picasso's Blue Period. After viewing, "The Old Guitarist," students were inspired to create their own monochromatic guitar. They turned out awesome and each one is uniquely it's own!

Our art room!

Mrs.brunswig's Kindergarten class hard at work experimenting with salt and water color. Students made a giant dinosaur after reading one of our favorite books, "Skippy John Jones and the Big Bones" by, Judy Schachner.

Welcome to the very true story of an incredibly unique, super messy, ever changing, fantastically creative art room.

Once upon a time there was a brand new school in a beautiful town called Gretna.  This town happened to be in Nebraska and this school happened to be called Whitetail Creek Elementary School.  Students of all kinds came from all around Gretna to go to this very special school.  Along with those students came a teacher named Miss Fettin.  Now Miss Fettin was no ordinary kind of teacher.  She was a color loving, apron wearing, song singing, toe tapping, messy handed, crazy crafting art teacher!  She dreamed of a place where students could make beautiful works of art of all kinds!  Where they could splatter, drip, sculpt, laugh, make mistakes, doodle, imagine, and most of all, be themselves.  So Miss Fettin created a room where the students of Whitetail Creek Elementary School could do just that.  We call this special place the art room.  Come on in...
