2nd grade CES art students have been working very hard for the last few weeks on a mosaic quilt square project. Students learned how to use rulers, explored how different geometric shapes can fit together as part of a design, and used small pieces of recycled paper to create a mosaic-inspired artwork. 

Welcome back! For our first project of the year, second and third grade students will customize the portfolio and sketchbooks they will be using in art class this year. This project is still in progress, and the creativity so far is astounding!

2nd grade students have been working on a dawing and painting project inspired by the artist Diego Rivera and his calla lily artwork. Students have used paper, pencils, black sharpies, and watercolor pencil in their artwork. These work of art will be displayed at our Art Extravaganza on March 30th. 

Some students have opted to persue a weaving project and will be displaying their woven baskets at the Art Show. 

3rd grade students have been using sharpie markers and recycled water bottles to create a chandelier to be the focal point for our Art Extravaganza. We are looking at the art work of Dale Chihuly for inspiration, he is one of the artists we saw at on our field trip to the Columbia Museum of Art. 

2nd and 3rd grade Clearwater Elementary School art students have been working on Jen Stark inspired drip art for the past few weeks. Students first used pencil and paper to create lines that followed a contour pattern. Students then used color pencil to outline each layer and will begin filling in their layers with maker and paint in the next couple of weeks. 

The students will use their art to create a display wall outside the artroom that we will be unveiled at the Winter Program.
