BES Art Corner

This week in art has been all about Georgia O'Keefe! She was an American modern artist known for her distinctive paintings of flowers, skyscrapers and New Mexico landscapes. 

Kinder and 1st graders have been working hard on their music program rehearsals. 

2nd grade learned about O'Keefe and started drawing their snail with a shell!

3rd graders also learned about O'Keefe and started painting their desert landscapes. They are looking so incredible! 

4th graders learned about O'Keefe and are working on drawing their animal skulls. 

5th graders also learned about O'Keefe and they are working on drawing their tree branches and leaves that will go with their pollination art. 

6th graders are working so hard on getting all of their art ready for their music program! 

The winner of the ART Madness is.....Hand with Reflecting Sphere by M.C. Escher! Second place winner is Wheatfield with Crows by Vincent Van Gogh!
