Ceiling Tiles for the Cafe

Second graders are working on an exciting project:  painting PeaceBuilder-inspired ceiling tiles to go on the ceiling of the cafe.  More info to come on this cool project....!

Collage Self-Portraits

We read the book The Colors of Us by Karen Katz before embarking on these collage self-portraits.  I'm super impressed with how close to real-life they came out!

Character Trait Self Portraits

These are by grade 3, but grades 4 and 5 also completed a similar lesson.  We learned about self-portraits, Frida Kahlo, warm and cool colors AND character traits while creating these fabulously colorful works of art.

We Are Peace Builders!

For our very first project, every grade learned how to say peace in many languages, and created peace signs using words and patterns.  They looked awesome adorning the school for Open House!

Circle Weavings by Grade 5

This project always has the most amazing results.  So many colors, so many patterns and so many varied combinations of textures.  

Weavings by Grade 4

Fabulous weavings filled with different colors, textures and patterns, great work fourth grade!

Ice Cream Drawings

All grades had a chance to work on these delicious drawings based on the work of Wayne Thiebaud....

Heather Galler Landscapes by Grade 2

Colorful, patterned landscapes based on the paintings by artist, Heather Galler.

Kindergarten Butterflies

Kindergarten students made prints using shapes and lines, and then used the prints to create these adorable butterflies....

Paper Sculpture by Grade 3

Third graders viewed and discussed the paper sculptures of contemporary artist, Jen Stark.  

Their goal was to see how tall AND sturdy they could make these paper sculpture creations!  We also learned all about complimentary colors to add some extra "zing" to the sculptures.

Paper Sculptures by Grade K

Wow!  Kindergarten students learned so many ways to fold, bend, curl and cut paper to make it 3-D.
