Abstract Art

Students were inspired to create something abstract after looking and learning about artist of the day Paul Klee.

Art room quote of the day: "If you can't draw something that looks real, just say it's abstract." -Meghan 5th grade

Summer Time!

The end of school is here! Thus the giant smile on my face. It's been a wonderful year. I'm looking forward to a little R and R over the summer to refuel myself for next school year. Have a fun and safe summer. Do something creative over the summer: sketch, color, paint, image, build, sculpt, explore....enjoy!

5th grade Animal Ceramic Bowls

I just couldn't resist showing some more of these awesome bowls that my 5th graders created.

3rd grade flowers inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe

3rd graders: Warm and Cool colored flowers inspired by artist Georgia O'Keeffe.

Students first used pencil to draw a large flower onto black construction paper. Then students traced their pencil drawing in regular Elmer's glue. Students used oil pastel (Craypas) to color in between the glue outline. And the end results are fabulous!!
