Amelia's Stunning Sunset (2nd grade)

Year after year, this remains one of my all time favorite projects. The results this year are more stunning than ever and they are filled with very personal meaning. Each third grade student was asked to make a piece of art about something in the world that they would like to change. These five wonderful artworks are all about environmental problems, pollution, loss of habitat or extinction.

Our work at the CCSD Youth Art Month - so much good work, so little space. I'm always blown away at the quality of work I have to choose from and am proud of all of my art students.

A lot of magic happens in here - sometimes the students' work is just so wonderful I can't believe it. There were so many of these jungle paintings by 3rd grade artists that just blew me away. They are fantastical and  imaginative; and their use of art elements and principles such as balance, space, rhythm and color are informed and sophisticated.

I'm so very excited about these self-portraits, created by first grade artists while looking in mirrors. They each really represent the individual students; their appearance, their personality, their strengths. I'm proud of their boldness and expressiveness.
