5th Grade Creates Recycled Art

Fifth Grade worked on creating a recycled art project for the PTA Council's recycled art project. We took used water bottles and created a recycle trash can out of them. Lot's of fun and environmentally conscientious too!

Kindergarten paints Picasso style portraits

Kindergarten is creating portraits in the style of Pablo Picasso. They are using his ideas of abstraction to create really fun and brightly colored designs. Art can be beautiful and silly at the same time. Way to go Kindergarten.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful holiday break. Welcome to the 2011 school year Anderson Artists and families. Check back often to see all the cool projects we will be making this semester. I can't wait to get started!!!!!!!

Fifth Grade Creates Free Form Sculptures

Fifth Grade students used wire hangers, wooden blocks and nylon socks to create free form sculptures. The results are quite stunning.

Third Grade Makes "Wild Thing" Monsters

Our Third Grade Classes have been writing stories in Computer Class with Ms. Blandford. I thought "What a cool idea, lets take it to the next level"! We used our stories to create cool collage monsters. After we created our monsters we cut them out and then put them on black paper. We added all sorts of details using our oil pastels. Super fun!!!
