Art Show!!

I love art shows. Everyone is all smiles- the parents, the students, and the teachers! I have lots more pics to upload but for right now here is me with both panels:

I'm so proud of my students! We had a great turnout and I very much enjoy getting to visit with the students and their parents. 

5th Grade Projects

My 5th graders have been working so fast! I'm always trying to stay one step ahead of them because they finish their projects quickly.

The first one is a Lego Style Portrait. They had to create a Lego character, fill the page, and color the background. Unfortunately,I only got a few really great ones on the Lego style portrait.

The nerd Lego man was my favorite!

Next is a one point perspective project. You've probably seen it before:

 GREAT results on this project.

 And here is our version of Andy Warhol's art : Pop Art Scratch Art!

They had to draw a symbol that represents themselves and tell me why they drew it.

That's a paintbrush, if you can't tell :)

 AND finally the displays from our Fine Arts Festival:

Last Art Show

These few photos are from the last art show we will have up for the school year. This is our annual vertical team show that features artwork from Elementary, Middle and High schools in our districts. We are broken up into teams based on our feeder schools. Our team's theme is portraits. I have our falling back self-portraits by 5th and the crazy hair self-portraits by 6th. This year it is at City Hall, which I think is pretty cool. I'll have to take some more photos of the portraits and the other teams' work. There are some great things that our students can do!

First Show

Our district's first show was last Tuesday and we had a great turnout. Three of my students' artworks were chosen from both of my schools.
Here they are:

 And here are some of the other pieces that were on display. I work with so many talented people (and look how talented their students are too!)!
