Fifth Grade Gnomes Continued...

Fifth graders are continuing to finish their garden gnomes, and they are spectacular!








Kindergarten "Me & My Shadow"

Kindergarten students learned about light sources and shadows. 
They then made self-portraits that reflected their understanding.










Fourth Grade Sonja Delauney Cubes

Students in grade four have learned about the artist Sonja Delauney and her use of color and shape. They then made three dimensional cubes that use tertiary colors.








Monochromatic Paintings

Fifth graders have been learning about creating tints and shades and 
how to create a painting using only one color. This is called a monochromatic painting.
