Self-Portraits

 4th Graders learned about artist Amedeo Modigliani and his odd proportions. Students then created their own portraits using Modigliani proportions and oil pastels. As you can see, they were very creative!



Skyscrapers

 Kindergartners practiced cutting and gluing skills by creating skyscrapers. They reviewed shape and even got to add a little glitter for stars!



Medieval Self-Portraits

5th Graders learned about Medieval life and human proportions. They used this knowledge to create a Medieval self-portrait. Aren't they fabulous?!

Symmetrical Butterflies

Kindergartners learned what the word "symmetry" means. They created symmetrical butterflies with oil pastels on day 1 of the lesson. On day 2 they painted over the butterflies with watercolor.
