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!

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.

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

Colorful People, Colorful Portraits

We started our study of color with drawing self-portraits. Each group colored their face in with only two colors depending on the color of their group. Together they make the rainbow, all the colors in the color wheel. (More pictures to be posted soon: Remember click for close up)

We Heart Art

Happy Valentine's Day! The 4th and 5th graders made Heart Designs in celebration. We looked at the artwork of Jim Dine, who hearts heart art. They were also introduced to Picasso's cubism because they will be doing Picasso Portraits next, stay tuned! They used rulers to break up their hearts and added patterns.

Cozy Klimt Quilts

Gustav Klimt is a famous painter who loved to use lines and shapes to make patterns. He also loved to use gold. So, Art Club looked at his paintings and learned from him.

Artwork by Klimt


Art Club practices making patterns by drawing someone bundled up in many brightly patterned quilts.
