Raey Guang – Georgetown Student Artwork Exchange

June 2010 marked the beginning of our very first student art exchange with our sister school, Raey Guang, in Pingtung, Taiwan!  We will continue our new tradition each year by sending one of our student pieces to Taiwain and eagerly awaiting a return piece of artwork created by a Raey Guang student.

Our first piece from Georgetown Elementary was created by 2nd Grade artist Jordyn.  Jordyn used many bright colors and careful shading to create her happy, cheerful Green Robot.  We felt her piece would make our friends from Taiwan smile every time they looked at it.

Jordyn's Green RobotThe artwork we received from Raey Guang was created by Yun-Chang Hsieh from Grade 1.  The title is “Raey guang’s White Castle”.  Here’s what Yun-Chang wrote about the White Castle piece:  “Every morning as I get to the school, I see Raey Guang’s white castle that makes me energetic and vigorous.  Many beautiful butterflies fly around the campus.  They make Raey Guang even livelier.  I am so happy to grow and learn in Raey Guang!”

I made an extra copy of Jordyn’s Green Robot so that we could frame both pieces and hang them in a special spot at Georgetown.  Can’t wait to see them framed and hanging in our school!

More Art Room Projects in the works….

We are keeping soooo busy in the art room!  Here’s a look at what our second graders have been working on.

Second Grade Robot  Second Grade Two Robots Second graders were excited to begin a new robot project this week!  If you look carefully, you’ll see that the robot head is made by tracing around an electrical outlet plug cover.  And the arms and legs….well, you know Mrs. Brouwer can’t throw away anything…including the plastic trays that hold sets of watercolors!  Great for robot arms and legs!  Can’t wait to see these when the kids begin adding color.
