What have we been up to in the art room?
Lots of good old fashion creative, messy, fun projects! 
Mexican Day of the Dead Clay Skulls
Here are the final clay skulls made by 4th graders. We were able to paint them with acrylic paint after they came out of the kiln. The colors 4th graders mixed came out very well which is something we have been mastering in art this year!
Native American Shields
This is an integrated art project done with Ms. Mayorska's
5th Grade class. We were able to take what students have been learning in Social Studies class and apply the art and history of Native American Shields by making our own! The goal was to add symbols with specific meanings to create a story on each shield.
We used cereal boxes and oil pastels to add color and symbols. Watercolors were also another medium choice to add colors onto the shield. Feathers and yarn were added for final details. 
6th Grade Hero Mirror Images
For the specialist integrated art project this year, we embarked on a theme based on heroes. In Library, each class brainstormed a list of character traits that represents a hero. Each class used their list of hero character traits to inspire the theme of their artwork. The goal of this project was to create a mirror image of the character trait students picked. Take a look, they came out very spectacular!
