3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade students started their Valentine's Day art projects this week! They were able to choose from 6 different artists and make heart inspired art by one of their artist's famous pieces!
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter and art theorist who became a leader of abstract art. His signature style, characterized by black lines, white backgrounds, and primary colors, is among the most recognizable in modern art.
Romero Britto is a Brazilian artist, painter, serigraphic, and sculptor. He combines elements of cubism, pop art, and graffiti painting in his work, using vibrant colors and bold patterns as a visual expression of hope, dreams, and happiness.
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist who is widely considered a pioneer of abstraction in Western art. Kandinsky's work evolved from representational to planes of innovative color and line.
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist who has been a leader in installation, performance and pop art for over 60 years. Her work is known for its signature dots, which she incorporates into paintings, drawings, sculptures, and even her clothing.

2nd grade read The Wish Tree and created a winter landscape art using tempera cakes! The Wish Tree is a cute story by Chris Turnham about a boy named Charles wants to find a wish tree. His brother and sister don't believe there is such a thing, but his trusty companion Boggan is ready to join Charles on a journey to find out. And along the way, they discover that wishes can come true in the most unexpected ways. The second graders are painting a winter landscape scene from this book!
1st grade did paper weaving for their bear's sweater! They loved weaving and really enjoyed doing it! Kinders finished up this week by painting their mountains and finishing their Ted Harrison art piece.
