Young People's Exhibit

I entered 3 of my student's works of art into the Young People's Art Exhibit sponsored by Oklahoma's Art Education Association, and one of my student's made this photo montage for me! Kailee is the one standing in front of the Van Gogh-esque painting.

Fourth Grade: Jim Dine Hearts

For Valentines this week we studied Jim Dine, and created our own composition of hearts with oil pastels.

Snowmen Continued

I have a really hard time narrowing it down...especially when I remember to take my camera out!

I love this one's backwards hat:-)

Snowmen

We made this the week before Christmas. ( We watched Frosty the Snowman while making them.) It is a great project to get kids excited about vacation, but keeps them quiet while making some awesome artwork:-) "Snowdan the Snowman"- cute, huh?

M.C. Escher

I am moving into my next unit: Optical Illusions. One of my favorite optical illusionists is MC Escher, who is the artist of the following:

We won't be doing the typical tessalation art work like MC Escher is most famous for, we will be doing more of a grid type illusion. Results to come.
