Fourth Grade Super Heroes Self Portraits


                                            Fourth Graders have such great imaginations. Look at how they have turned themselves into Awesome, Creative, Fierce, Hardworking, Unstoppable Super Heroes!

                                                    Happy spirits brighten the art room.










 Fifth Grade

Still Life and Shading



What a great day to see the fifth graders light up as they entered the art room. To their amazement was a still life of a vase, flowers and various fruits set up on a table in the middle of the room. After a discussion about artist, "Paul Cezanne" and his work , Apples and Oranges , students began their own still life drawing but with using a viewfinder. 
Enjoy a few of their sketches!
