It's Snowing in the Art Room

Our third through fifth graders had some fun with symmetry and snowflakes on the
last day before winter break! Check out some of their beautiful designs!

Reductive Printmaking

Our fifth-graders have been creating beautiful observational drawings of birds and now these fun and exciting prints through the medium of reductive printmaking.

Our students had an awesome day visiting the Atlanta Botanical Gardens while connecting art, language arts and science! While viewing the sculptures of glass artist, Dale Chihuly, students created alliterations, wrote Haikus, used persuasive writing and more while writing about the art they viewed. Students also took time to sketch and create drawings while viewing these amazing works of art! Of course we also connected science to our trip with all of the plants and even the poison dart frogs that students enjoyed seeing in the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center.

Frida Kahlo Inspired Self-Portraits

Third grade students were inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and her self-portraits as they created their own self-portraits while learning about the rules of correct proportion. Students also used their knowledge of space to create a background with animals and plants from the rainforest.
