Welcome to the Allen Academy Museum of American Artists!


For the past few weeks, the fourth grade classes have been working on a project about artists.  We have been working very hard on it.  We researched our artists and looked at their biographies.  After we looked at their biographies, we took notes in our own words, and wrote several paragraphs using the notes.  Then we typed the paragraphs on the computer.  We also had to make a replica of one of our artist's paintings.  The fourth grade classes presented some of the facts in our brochures in the lower school library.  We also got to share our artwork with other students and parents.  I really enjoyed this project and I think the kids in fourth grade next year will enjoy it too!

American Artists Project

In humanities were working on our artworks a lot. I think that everybody is doing well on their projects, and they will all look good in the end.  My favorite part of this project was painting my mobile by Alexander Calder. We are looking forward to teaching people about our artists and their artwork.  Our museum will be held on Monday, November 7th in the Lower School library.
