Cave Paintings!

4th Grade Art took a virtual tour of the Cave of Lascaux. We learned about the history of the cave and the content that was discovered on the walls and ceilings. Inspired by the cave, we also painted on the "ceiling" (under the desks). After our drawings are complete, we will use natural colors to paint our animals. 

LEGO Self Portraits!

Every year, one of our last projects of the year is LEGO Self Portraits! To finish out their lower school art experience, all 5th graders create themselves in LEGO form. Check out some of our awesome portraits!

Flower Still Lifes

2nd Grade Art learned about Vincent Van Gogh and his still life painting. Specifically, we learned about his flower paintings! Using his sunflowers as inspiration, we created our own flower vases with patterned backgrounds of wallpaper. 

Architecture Paper Bags!

In 3rd Grade Art, we learned about building and designing all types of buildings. We designed and planned our own 'paper bag' buildings! It was fun to build using paper!!

National Crayon Day!

 

In honor of this great day, we read "The Day the Crayons Quit" and "The Day the Crayons Came Home" :) 

We also are very sad about the Dandelion crayon leaving 24-count box! 

3rd Grade Paper Weaving!

3rd Grade Art started a spring time paper weaving project! Using colorful strips of paper, we wove the paper in and out of the colored background. 

Can't wait to display our finished artwork!

 

 

Here's what our finished art will look like! 

5th Grade Degas Ballerinas

In 5th Grade Art, we are learning about Impressionism. We started with Monet and reflections using paint and symmetry. Now we are working on pastel drawings of ballerinas inspired by Edgar Degas. 

First we read the book, "Dance like a Butterfly" about Degas and his technique. 

 

It was super fun to make the teacher example! 

 

 

 

Can't wait to see the finished drawings!
