Teacher’s love for art spreading to the Panthers

Special to The Canton News

The Mississippi State Department Canton Academy art and Bible teacher Savannah Lloyd has started the year off teaching her students to make their mark. Her elementary art students have spent the week learning about how to create art from simple dots. The book The Dot by Peter Reynolds helps spark imagination and encourage creativity through the use of a single dot.

First grade created Pop-Art dot collages using different mediums, including paint bubbles; third grade explored negative space dots; and sixth grade crafted Gelli Art prints with paper plates and cookie tin lids.
