4th Grade Op Art

Our 4th grade artists studied Optical Art...a style of art that is mean to fool your eyes.  Check out the simple illusions that they were able to create using only line, shape, and colors.

Can you see the illusion of "tunnels" in the two pieces above?

The second piece that we worked on uses a "bull's eye" design and alternating pattern to create the illusion of movement on the page.  

3rd Grade Cupcakes...finished!

First we painted our cupcakes with watercolor paints.  

Then we added a good helping of glitter glue to add a bit of "sprinkles" on top.  These are now keepsake, lidded boxes that look good enough to eat!

5th Grade Clay Gargoyles

Our 5th graders worked hard to create these cute little creatures.  The basic form starts with a pinch pot and then the students used their imaginations to add eyes, tongues, claws, wings, etc...  A good glazing really makes them pop with color.  

Gargoyle...or alien?

Look at those wings!

A trio of cuties!
