BES Art Corner

This week in art class went quickly as we were so busy making Monet inspired artwork!

6th grade finished their Monet art and started their one-point perspective smashed brick wall. This is a harder concept for some, but they are pushing through! Their art will be displayed at the HS before their music concert!

5th grade is working on finger painting their greenery for their flowers! They are creating a layered flower vase! 

4th grade finished up their poplar trees! They loved being able to have the artistic freedom to make their trees match the season in which they were painted in!

3rd graders have been working hard making their 3d water lilies! This is a great challenge for them! 

2nd graders finished up their Monet boats! They look awesome!

1st graders have been working so hard on their paper mâché' farm animals! I can't wait for you to see them!

Kinder finished their sheep and are drawing goofy chickens!
