Kandinsky's Circles Inspire Kindergarteners

The kindergarten students viewed many artworks by Wassily Kandinsky. The bright colors were quite an inspiration. Students created circles using a rainbow of crayon colors. The kindergarteners then finished the artworks with vibrant watercolors. 














3rd grade Owls Are Quite A Hoot!

3rd graders recently finished their Black Glue Owl project. For this project, students learned to draw a basic owl design. Each student made many sketches before deciding on a final design. Students traced their drawing in black glue and let it dry completely. Artworks were brought to life with watercolors.
