Grade 2!

Earlier this year, second grade created imaginary creatures. These Dr. Seuss inspired creatures were made with recycled materials and also gave the students an opportunity to explore the different properties of matter.

Featuring Grade 1

Grade 1 spent time exploring the artwork of Faith Ringgold. We were inspired by her story and quilt Tar Beach. In the story, Cassie Louise Lightfoot imagines that she can fly over the city. Students imagined and then created images of themselves flying over a city. Students then installed their artwork in the main hallway of the school.

Featuring Grade 4

Earlier this year, fourth grade studied the work of Georgia O'Keeffe. Students cropped and emphasized flowers to focus the viewer's attention. The students used a watercolor resist technique to create their artwork.

Featuring Grade 5

Grade 5 recently explored the art of China. They used authentic materials to create a painting of bamboo. Students also created and printed their own artist seal (made from recycled meat trays), known as "the eye of the dragon" in Chinese painting.

Featuring Grade 1

Earlier this year, first grade created plaid patterns using horizontal and vertical line. Students then used their plaid to create clothes for someone dressed for a particular kind of weather.

Featuring Third Grade Figurative Sculptures!

Students chose an activity that they enjoyed and decided on an action pose to illustrate their activity. The sculptures were created by modeling air dry clay over an aluminum foil armature, painting on details and gluing the figures to a base. Two third grade figurative sculptures will be included in an art show coming up at the Calvert Marine Museum.
