More 3rd-5th grade work

I see Marvin's Orange House below

I remember Ashton's tall skinny house, Brian's teal house, Eryn's pink house, below

Amillion's house is the tall skinny teal one.  The big green one is Autumn's?

More houses

Dusk... Kenmari is the yellow house, Juavonte did the blue house, Ryshaun did the huge red one, Amiri did the yellow one? and Jonathan did the brown house.

Portrait Collages (Art Museum project)

Part of our field trip was doing an art project...Portrait collages using reproductions of artwork from the Chicago Art Museum.

Mark's art skills go beyond drawing. I LOVE this collage!

Artwork by Telia
No name! I think this one would be even cooler if the grapes were part of his beard. You might of noticed...the food clippings were very popular.

Another no-name :-( But I love the lightning behind the ice cream and the butterfly used as the bust.
Artwork by Triniti

Again, no name. I usually toss no-names, but those raspberry earrings and the armor used for the body! Too cute.

Artwork by Damien

Artwork by Ashton

Artwork by Arneisha

Fangs and using animal mouths was also a very popular motif.

Owls, Houses, and Ashton

I have a lot of watercolor and bird collages to post. We have been very busy with birds...peacocks, cockatoos, penquins! The owls are just one of many. Here is a small preview.

I love the "at-home" drawings that everyone have given me this year! But, I need everyone to be patient with seeing them on the blog. I decided to post all of the drawings together at end of year. Ashton has given me, not only a few drawings, but a few entire drawing journals!! So these are just a preview of many more of Ashton's work to come!

Busy Busy Bees!!

I have not posted any artwork in a while. This is what I have been busy doing.
ART CLUB!! Thanks to my art club helpers who came Mon-Thurs (sometimes even Fridays, they couldn't get enough art club ;-)) to help out with the art room and work on their art projects.
Art Star Celebrities taking pictures on the Red Carpet at Fernwood's HipHop Award Ceremony. I blurred faces because some students have not turned in photo permission forms.
Mosaic Part One: Gluing all the pieces down, and getting hands dirty with Liquid Nails. For future reference, wear gloves while using liquid nails. But if you are like me and get liquid nails stuck on your hands, use nail polish remover to get it off. I discovered that after a couple days of dirty looking hands.

Mosaic Part Two: Grouting! Very fun to feel the mushhhhy grout. But if you are concerned about your carpet, you might want to lay down a blanket! Whoops.

3rd Quarter Stars

Thank you to my 3rd Quarter Stars! Make sure you check out their photographs outside the art room. I used different computer effects with each photo. The effects imitate different artistic styles.

No Slackers with these Nutcrackers!

5th graders completed the other half of the nutcracker to make it SYMMETRICAL. They got creative with the coloring in! Good Work

Pablo Picasso’s Portraits and Profiles!

3-5th graders learned about portraits done by Pablo Picasso. Picasso liked to show the side-view of the face, called a profile, and the face from the front view in the same painting. Compare our portraits to his and you can see we did the same thing!


The three portraits above are by Picasso. Now compare them to our portraits below.
