2nd and 3rd grade artists had fun creating these expressive cartooned pumpkins that show value in their shading! 

4th grade Self Portraits

4th graders studied the art of Mary Cassatt. They learned about her life, how she enjoyed painting people, especially children, and how she was part of the impressionist group with other artists like Edgar Degas.

Using the grid technique, they drew their own portraits and use oil pastels to shade and blend. They turned out fantastically! Here are some artworks in progress:

5th graders study Georgia O'Keefe!

5th graders studied the life and work of Georgia O'Keefe. They learned that she became famous for her ability to zoom up close on her work. She liked drawing skulls, flowers and nature. Our 5th grade artists created an artwork inspired by her designs and practiced shading and blending colors as well!

3rd grade Haunted Houses

3rd graders got into the Halloween spirit while studying architecture. After looking at different architectural styles and elements, they each created their own individual haunted houses complete with fun spooky details! They also practiced shading their moons with yellow and orange.
