Sixth grade scholars wrapped up their semester long study of Greek and Roman art by creating their own original mythological creature. They had to mix various elements (animals, people, creatures, etc...) and create the myth, personality, skills and past of their creature as well. They finished their artwork by employing their painting skills to mix colors and paint with tempera paint.
Fifth grade scholars worked on their 1 point perspective drawing skills by creating their own 3D city from a birds-eye-view. The buildings in their city had to be in 1 point perspective and they added details to make their city fun, unique and creative.
First grade scholars created these beautiful still life drawings with oil pastels by looking at real sunflowers. They were inspired by the sunflower paintings of Vincent Van Gogh and the coming of spring!
Fourth grade scholars created cartoon-style "selfies" of themselves by tracing a photo. Then they created a background for their selfie by thinking of somewhere they would really want to go or something they really wanted to see. They completed their background with tempera paint.
