Inspired by Picasso.

The fifth graders have been learning about cubism. They created portraits that had more than one point of view in the same picture. They activated the space in the backgrounds of their pictures in a variety of ways. They added their choice of colors to their portraits using craypas. Mixing and blending colors was encouraged. I hope you enjoy these pictures.

I hope the weather wall works!

The kindergarten students have a way of changing the weather with their artwork! When we wanted snow, they made snowmen and it snowed. Now, I am tired of cold, wintery weather and the students are drawing suns. Many of our older students have been pitching in lately as well to help the kindergarteners. Hopefully as our weather wall fills, the sun will come out. Spring is coming soon, just keep making those suns!

Thanks to the Weavers!

Special thanks to Mihoko and Frank for coming to visit last Friday. The students had expert weaving instruction from our visiting artists!
