Name that Alien!

Second grade student's in Mrs. Lyke's class experimented with transforming their name into a symmetrical alien.

They really enjoyed the drawing, coloring, cutting and creating.




 I think they came out great!

My Sketchbook

Sixth graders start out the art year making their own sketchbook. This will be used for warm-up art exercises, ideas and provide work space to sketch ideas for the entire year. They must have their complete name, classroom number, the word sketchbook and part or all of their hand as the cover design.  Color choices, patterns and design elements are all their own expression.

Cherry Blossom

Elegant water color work  using  only black and red and lots of imagination. Inspired by Japanese ink painting. Wonderful salute to spring!

Large full page Flower

 Inspired by the American Artist Georgia O'Keeffe the students made large off the page pastel drawings of flowers. They were encouraged to use imaginary colors.

Funny Fish

What would your imaginary fish look like? We talked about ocean life and the students looked at nature photos and model fish for inspiration, but were encouraged to think outside the box...or in this case outside the ocean. This was an exploration project that used oil pastels.

 

Fish Prints

Each kinder class got to work in groups and make a fish print. It was a great hands on experience...and colorful too!

Graduation Self Portraits June 2011

 This graduation art project is becoming a school tradition.

I take photos of all the 6th grade students and convert them on Photoshop into a high contrast line drawing printed on a transparency. The students create their own personal statement and add pop collage colors. The works are hung up in the multi purpose room on promotion day and are a gift to families after the ceremony.

Calder Fish

Inspired by the work of American Artist Alexander Calder.

May 2011 Take a Line for a Walk Part II
