Go Braves!

Students in all my classes have been hard at work completing personal ink illustrations for possible inclusion in the Canandaigua Primary Elementary School Yearbook. 

Students were given a wide range of school activities to represent artistically as well as the choice to illustrate whatever they were inspired to create.

In completing these drawings we discussed scale, composition, space, and line.

While only a small number of these drawing will be included in the yearbook and a few others will be making appearances in the principal's newsletter, I just had to share even more!

 

 

 

 

I am always inspired (and entertained!) by what my students create when given choices in their artwork and this project is no exception. I am so impressed by the creativity, skill and effort that went into creating each of these special illustrations!

What's in the Water?

My second grade classes and Mr. Angelo's class just answered that question! 

Using Pablo Picasso's painting, Night Fishing at Antibes as inspiration, students imagined what underwater creates might be living right here in Canandaigua Lake.

After brainstorming different types of underwater creatures and their body parts, students created their own creatures using oil pastel. To create water, students made a collage using different colors of ripped tissue paper. A few layers of Mod Podge later and our creatures were in the water and ready to swim away!

I love how colorful and unique each piece is and the wild imagination behind these creatures!
