A BIG thank you to ARTOME' for helping frame our art show pieces. It was a huge success; we raised quite a bit of money this year and the students made lovely pieces!

Congrats to Mrs. Watola's class with the highest attendance!

Clay Lessons

The Kiln is hot!!! kindergarten completed textured slab snowmen, 1st grade is currently creating pinch pot diyas, 2nd grade just finished their slab additive and subtractive fish!
Next 3rd, 4th and 5th will tackle more complex clay making techniques with influence on Atlanta Architecture, and Pop Art foods!

snow snow everywhere.. even with Kindergarten Clay!

Kindergarten students would with slab clay, and added textures to form a snowman or snowwoman. Students then glazed and fired their pieces. They have lots of personality and show lots of added textures from clay tools and found objects!

1st grade textured fall still life

Value, shadow, texture, painting, drawing, composition, collage, still life as all elements our 1ST graders used in creating their fall still life pictures. Student examined the artwork of famous still life artists, real objects, and used exaggerated imagination to create their still life. There is 6 different kinds of texture on their artwork, can you spot them all???

Kindergarten Texture Prints

Kindergarten has been hard at work discovering texture. Students first rubbed with crayon to create textures on paper, then collage the paper in their season color pile of leaves. Students added many printed leaves on top.

5TH Grade self portrait pop art doodle prints!

Students created a doodled background of their most popular famous items that described them! Then our students created a reductive self portrait print from photography to finish off this Warhol inspired piece!

5th grade artwork showcased

Fifth grade has been secretly holding their artwork for the art and can finally reveal their amazing works! They did a color study with painting and composition techniques. These few examples show exceptional painting ability! Great job!
