Welcome to Harvey Elementary's Art Room!
What's happening in our neighborhood recently...
Our first art-work of the school year is a school-wide project based on the Pinwheels For Peace program. Every student from kindergarten to Fifth grade will make a Pinwheel for Peace and on Monday, September 21st, which is World Peace Day, the whole school will "plant" their pinwheels outside at Harvey for the day! See Pinwheels 4 Peace Slideshow
"Pinwheels for Peace is an art installation project started in 2005 by two Art teachers, Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillan, who teach at Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Florida, as a way for their students to express their feelings about what’s going on in the world and in their lives. The project was quickly embraced by their students and the entire school community and by millions of art teachers, teachers, parents, children and adults who desire peace in our world.
The first Pinwheels for Peace were installed on Sept. 21, 2005. Since then, we have grown from 500,000 pinwheels planted the first year, to 2 million pinwheels in 2008!"
