This rain barrel was designed by Cassius in the 5th grade and painted by the 5th grade art club students. It will be auctioned off on May 16 by Keep Athens Clarke County Beautiful. I am super proud of their hard work and Cassius’ awesome design.

I just can’t get enough of these - they are so beautiful. 4th grade students started out making a collograph of a landscape using an assortment of textured materials. They made a print of their collograph using dark brown acrylic paint - that was the day that I had to say, “Trust me.” Then they painted over the dry prints with brilliant watercolors, each making their own unique colors. I think that they are stunning.

There are a few traditional art subjects that I think every art student should take a shot at - the still life is one. I’m so proud of my 4th graders. They really excelled at this one.

What would you turn your weaving into? My students had no problem coming up with brilliant ideas - a blooming tree, an apron, a sunset, an idea, a robot, a magic carpet. This project was so much fun! More photos on the way.

One of my favorite “Mrs. Dean” portraits yet!

Fourth grade students were to create artworks featuring three traditional subjects in art this year - still lifes, landscapes and portraits. Here are some of their landscapes, created by making a textured plate for printing, making a series of prints and then painting with watercolor over their dry print. The results are stunning. They have wonderful compositions and really got creative with their use of color. Bravo!
