Fulton County Adaptive Art

Special Olympics Track and Field 2026 at Centennial HS was a great day for Adaptive Art! Athletes visited the Adaptive Art station between events. They expressed their creativity by decorating paper medals and abstract art panels. There were many happy reunions and smiling faces as teachers got to see former students from many schools. We had a blast and look forward to Special Olympics again next spring! LandSeaCityScapeLesson_MrRob_AdaptiveArt.mp

March was Youth Art Month and Exceptional Children's Week all rolled into one! At my schools, I put up an art show to go along with our music show. Students are always so excited to show their parents their work and parents are so impressed by what their students are capable of.

My students studied the work of Lili & Marvin Rosenberg and their ceramic turtles. Then students then created turtles using natural earth air dry clay. After hardening the turtles were primed and painted by each student.

In PATHS we used shapes and Legos to create our own robots on the dance floor!

PreK Inclusion students used found objects, cookie cutters, stamps, and toy cars to print hearts just in time for Valentine's Day!

We learned about the Japanese Aesthetic, did a critical analysis of several Hokusai prints , composed a Japanese poem called a Haiku where the 3 lines of the poems must have 5-7-5 syllables, did paintings and printmaking with the carp / haiku as focal points. They also painted a separate piece of Mt. Fuji with cherry blossom branches.

Elementary students learned about real artist clay that comes from the earth. They used clay to make circle slabs and spheres to put together snowmen with ear muffs. They also rolled coils for their carrot noses and some used coils for mouths. Glaze was then used to add color to these fun ceramic snowmen.

Ms. Brittany’s Pre-K students made bear collages by painting with tempera and paint sticks, cutting, gluing, and drawing with Sharpie. They look dapper and are dressed for the holidays!
