Welcome to the 2015-16 school year at PS 150 in Sunnyside, Queens!!!!

Look here for all the latest information on the fabulous art projects we are doing here at PS 150!!  You can find links to Power Point presentations so that you can see exactly what your children are studying in art.  You can also find suggestions for art enrichment projects that you can do at home with your child to extend their knowledge of the concepts we are working on in class!!!

Welcome to the Spring Semester!!!

Welcome to the spring semester at PS 150!!!!  Parents of students who are new to the class should have received a welcome letter by now.  The letter outlines important items for you and your child such as the class rules and general rubrics.  For your reference, a copy of the rubric is linked below.  Please feel free to stop in and meet me at the next parent teacher conference date.  I look forward to working with your student this spring!!!!!

Happy New Year to all of my students and their families!!!!!  What exciting things we have in store for upcoming year.  Soon you will learn about a new system where you will be able to track your child's progress in art class online!!!!!  Until then, keep checking back and looking under the tab for your grade for information on current projects and extra credit opportunities!!!!!

Who is Andy Warhol?

I selected Andy Warhol as my Halloween costume for the parade at P.S. 150.  Check it out in this photo with my son, aka Casey Jones from TMNT.

So, just who is Andy Warhol?  I challenge you to find out for yourself.  Work with your parent to search for some information on Andy Warhol.  Write a short paragraph telling me what you learned and I will give you extra credit toward your art grade.  Submit your paragraph on loose leaf during art class or submit it via email to ewine@schools.nyc.gov.  Don't forget to include your name and class number on your work.

On the Move

I am very happy and excited to announce that I have joined the terrific staff at PS 150 in my neighborhood, Sunnyside, Queens!  Parents and students of 150, welcome to my blog. On this site, you can find general information about the visual arts program at 150. Click on the "Resources" tab at the top to explore museum sites and other art teacher blogs.  Finally you may click on the grade level tab at the top to find information about what we are doing in class as well as suggestions for art projects that students can do at home to supplement their classroom instruction.

As always, parents and students are encouraged to leave comments on any of my blog pages or to email me at ewine@schools.nyc.gov

I look forward to a great year together at PS 150!!!

Have a GRREAT Summer!!!!!

I hope all the students and staff have a terrific summer!!!  Remember students, you may communicate with me anytime by email at ewine@schools.nyc.gov.  If you are looking for some interesting art ideas for the summer remember that it is always a good idea to practice drawing form observation.  Go to Google images and type in what you want to draw (cars, horses, dogs, cityscapes, etc.).  You will literally have millions of options to choose from.  I also recommend Pinterest for finding great art and crafts ideas.  

Art Expo 2014 in Review

"The Language of Art" was the theme for this year's annual Art Expo at PS/MS 194.  Over 1000 pieces of art were on display as the gymnasium was transformed into an art gallery for  three days in May.  Approximately 300 parents and their children enjoyed the opening night on Wednesday, May 14.  All students in the school viewed the artworks with their classes on Thursday and Friday.
