The Kindergarten was practicing with scissors and learning to cut spirals. They decorated snakes to go with the deserts the other grades did.

Shark by Kiara B and Snail be Lashawn. I didn't mean for it to look like the shark is eating the snail, but it turned out that way by chance.

Photo Permission Slips


I finally got a list of students who turned in their photo permission slips. This means I can post pictures of everyone making artwork during class too. I can also link your artwork to your picture. Here are some students who always give 100% effort during art class. It shows, because their artwork has been chosen to be posted more than once and I only pick my favorite 5 or 6 pieces from each project to post. Of course, they also turned in their photo form. Click on their name to see some of their artwork.

Shape Quake

6th and 7th graders were given a piece of black paper, scissors, and glue. They were asked to cut any shapes out of the paper and shift them around, but use all scraps. Most people followed directions but I did find a few scrap pieces of black paper after they left! Here is artwork from students who used the whole paper:

1st grade paintings

Catahjari and Aaliyah made twin paintings!
Alijah and Paris did not exactly follow the directions, but they both worked hard and used their imagination. That is what matters most! You will have to ask Alijah and Aaliyah about their interesting creatures.
