Gesture Drawings

Our 4th graders are creating gesture sketches to capture interesting poses of their classmates to plan for their upcoming sculptures! We are having so much fun in the art room this week!

Kindergarten Collage

Our kindergarteners are busy making these Eric Carle inspired trees for their owl collages. They mixed colors to paint their own papers and added textures just like Eric Carle too! I love their beautiful results and love what I do each day!

Fall Landscapes

Our first graders were making observational drawings of scarecrows today in their art journals to plan for their fall landscapes. Can you tell how closely they were looking at the details? Amazing work first graders!

5th Grade iPad Art

Here are a few examples of our 5th grade photos created in the Wordphoto app. Students photographed themselves in art class and then added adjectives to describe their personality. 



4th Grade Fieldtrip to the High Museum of Art

Fourth graders attended a fieldtrip to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta this week and participated in the I See Literacy Tour where they learned more about reading works of art as you would read text. Our students are very fortunate to have the opportunity to go to the High each year in fourth grade since 2005! A great time was had by all students and teachers as well!
