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.

Peace Poster

Every year the 6th graders compete in a Peace Poster Contest sponsored by the Lion's Club. It is an international competition. Click here to check out the details. This year the judges had a difficult time narrowing the competitors down to just three local winners. Here are the results:

1st Place Local Winner

2nd Place Local Winner

Third Place Local Winner

Peacocks

Aren't these beautiful?! I was really amazed at the variety. We used oil pastels and I showed the students how they could blend the colors together. 

Later they added background details with colored pencil

O'Keeffe Flowers

5th Graders learned about Georgia O'Keeffe and then created their own watercolor flowers. We discussed different watercolor techniques and complimentary colors.
