BES Art Corner

We have been super busy in art this week!

6th Grade – Our young artists are drawing cemeteries and learning tons of new techniques including shading, one-point perspective, vanishing points, and how to make things look 3D!

4th & 5th Grade – These grades are hard at work on their Music/Art Show projects for November! 4th graders are loving their Elvis bottle buddies, while 5th graders are really digging their cardboard guitars!

2nd & 3rd Grade – Also preparing for the show! 2nd graders are finishing up their adorable reindeer school pictures, and 3rd graders are wrapping up their colorful nutcrackers!

1st Grade – First graders are creating owls in 3D trees—they look amazing!

Kindergarten – Our youngest artists are learning about warm and cool colors through fun, hands-on art activities.

It’s been a creative and colorful week in the art room! 🎨✨
