We discussed holidays and holiday related decorations and symbols. Towards this direction, we made artworks of turkey, Christmas tree, wreath and bells.\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/4\">On the coming Sunday<\/a>, we draw and color Santa Claus. The students not only learn holiday culture, but also recognize holiday related objects around them. \u00a0Their meaning, their beauty, their story are all fascinating, so artworks display all of those. \u00a0Kids are getting more and more comfortable about class. When they come to class, they are ready and prepared to draw. \u00a0They are clearly interested in drawing objects by themselves in the class and coloring it in their own way based on my instruction. They have their own artistic view and truly believe their ability of drawing. I am glad to see their confidence on their drawing and coloring skills. \u00a0They all have potential to develop to an artist with parents&#8217; and teachers&#8217; support.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I wish all of you happy holidays and happy new year!<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Yu (teacher)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear parents, This Sunday is the last art class in 2014. \u00a0We are going to draw and color Santa Claus. \u00a0Then we have a holiday break and resume art class\u00a0on 1\/11\/15. \u00a0After this Sunday class, we have two more classes (1\/11\/15,\u00a01\/18\/15). \u00a0Then we start a new semester, the spring semester\u00a0on 1\/25\/15.
