Clay Coil Pots

Third graders created these lovely coil pots from clay during art class. They learned about Mexican artist, Juan Quezada, and his clay pots made from natural resources. They also learned about pinch pots, coils, and properly attaching pieces of clay and glazing during this lesson.

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!
