Monsters
The 4th and 5th grade had a great time making these adorable monsters inspired by an Instagram artists. The artists draws monsters and adds images that make it appear that the monsters are holding the objects. We worked with sharpie and used pencil shading skills. We learned how to make an object appear to be held by a monsters or eaten. This was a fun 1 to 2 day project. These little guys are sure to make you smile!
Collaborative diamond quilt
I am very excited to present to you our collaborative quilt art that each student helped create. Students each colored a 6x6 in quilt block in the shape of a diamond. The diamonds were then put together in color order. We created this beautiful work of art together! This was really a large work of art. It took 2 teachers and 4 students to help hang this up. You can view this beautiful art work hanging down the main hallway heading toward the art room. Thank you to all who helped make this possible!

Elephants of India
We viewed and discussed images from National Geographic of the beautifully painted Elephants of India. The 4th grade was asked to create an elephant with designs of their own which we painted with neon paints. We adorned our elephants with fabric blankets, sequins, painted toenails, and lots of designs.
Below is a student sample in progress.
Picasso Portraits
Every year I do the Picasso Portrait project. This has become on of my favorite projects. I continue to have 4th grade create it every year. It really does get better and better every year! This year our project had a twist. I was given lots and lots and lots of pizza slices boxes. I just love re-purposing things to create amazing art. I thought what if we had to use the pizza box for out Picasso face. We did just that and the result is amazing. We have 3-D Picasso portraits. The faces really do jump out at you!
Our new 2016 Picasso portraits in progress.
