DeWitt Elementary Art students have been studying the art of Central America and using it as inspiration in their own art projects. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, art students have lined the DES circle hallway with their creations. Third through fifth grade students worked in small groups to create Mexican serapes with paper, yarn, and tempera paint. Younger artists created individual serapes through the art of paper collage. The walls are also decorated with cactus and tropical flower artwork inspired by landscapes found in parts of Central America. Students have analyzed artwork from El Salvadoran artist Fernando Llort and Mexican artist Diego Rivera. There will be artwork to come, as students enjoy learning and creating artwork featuring the vibrant Hispanic culture.

We would like to send out a friendly reminder that there is only one more week left to order your child's DES 5th Grade Musical T-Shirt. This year's show promises to be like none other, and it would be wonderful if we could all come together to have a unified look during our students' last performance at DES. In addition, we will be accepting donations towards buying shirts for those who are unable to purchase a shirt to ensure every student receives one. Your generosity would be greatly appreciated.
