Ever wondered what goes into creating those incredible dot paintings? It’s way more than "dots on canvas", it’s art turned into a hands-on science experiment! Here is what our artists are mastering for their latest project: -Art History & Optical Science: Comparing Georges Seurat’s classic Pointillism with Howardena Pindell’s modern, multi-layered abstract style. -Optical Color Mixing: Layering pure acrylic colors side-by-side so your eye mixes them automatically to build vibrant depth and value. -Precision & Tool Control: Using styluses and dowels with fluid acrylics to master dot scale, spacing, and raised surface texture without paint bleeding. -Layout & Composition: Applying mandalas, grids, and organic layouts to design original, dimensional artworks.

🚨 BUILD DAKOTA ROADSHOW IS COMING TO ONIDA! 🚨

What if we could help our students build a future right here at home? 🏡🌾

We invite all high school students and parents, Sully County businesses, community members, and anyone interested in the future of our community to join us for the Build Dakota Roadshow!

This is an incredible opportunity to learn how we can:

Oliver have brought their years of professional expertise to help Mr. Gittings safely teach carpentry skills to our A-B-O students. Community and school partnership at its best bringing extremely valuable hands on learning for possible future careers and life. Stay tuned for more to come!!

Owl Pellet Dissection day. 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders had a blast figuring out the diet of a Sully County barn owl today. Lots of fun putting the puzzle pieces together. Thank you Marla and Kara Huse for the discovery.

Our K–6th grade artists kicked off the school year celebrating International Dot Day, using creativity and courage to make their mark! This year, our students explored the life and abstract art of American artist Howardena Pindell, learning how art can transform personal experiences into powerful expression: Grades K–2: Our youngest artists paired Pindell's artwork with Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot, focusing on self-expression and starting with just a simple mark. They then created their own watercolor space and galaxy paintings inspired by Pindell’s colorful, circle-filled cosmos. Grades 3–6: Students discussed Pindell’s childhood memory of being served from a red-dotted cup during the era of segregation—a key moment that inspired her lifelong fascination with circles. We explored how she transformed a symbol of exclusion into vibrant, positive statements using layered paper dots, texture, and color.
