Monroe Elementary showing its colors

It's Art Spirit Week and at Monroe Elementary that means showing your colors.

Monday, March 19 is Primary Colors day where students wear as much blue, red and yellow as they can.

"Blue, red and yellow are the colors that, when mixed, make all other colors possible," explained Monroe visual arts teacher Adrian Hawk.

Tuesday is TESTURe day where students are asked to items such as pillow stuffing, cardboard, silk fabric, sponges, bubble wrap, cellophane, tree bark, fake leaves, cotton balls, lace, and anything else that has a fun feel to their clothes to demonstrate texture.

Wednesday is Favorite Artist & Art Media Day when students come dressed as their favorite artist, illustrator, artwork or storybook character.

Thursday is Patters Day when students wear as many different patterned clothes as you can! A pattern is a combination of lines, shapes, colors, pictures, and/or designs, etc. which is repeated over a surface.

The week concludes with Friday's Bold and Glitzy Day.

"Students wear their brightest, boldest, glitziest, neon, shiny, shimmery, glossy, sequined, etc. creative outfit or wear shapes all over or even dress up like a HUMAN SCUPTURE!," said Hawk.
