A new school year means another set of featured artists each month! Here are the featured artists of October:

EES - Desmond (K5): The first month in K5 art is all about LINE. Desmond created a lion head, and was inspired by the artist LeRoy Neiman to create a wild mane of different types of line.

EES - Levi (2nd Grade): 2nd grade started off the year learning about space and what makes a successful composition. Levi drew a pumpkin composition using overlapping, cropping, different sizes, and utilizing the whole page. He then added different lights and darks to his pumpkins to make them appear 3D.

HCE - Khyli (K5): HCE K5 students were learning about lines, cutting, gluing and painting.

HCE - All 1st-5th grade: At the start of each school year we always do a group piece of artwork and this year's theme was flowers/blossoms. Every student in 1st -5th grade made a flower to put on the mural for HCE.

WMS - Justin X. (6th Grade): Justin used clay to create his Dr. Seuss inspired clay fairy door before going into the kiln. Masterfully carved and sculpted.

WMS - Jonathan S. (8th Grade): Jonathan used a mixed medium to create a Life in a Jar Abstract Self Portrait. He put a magical twist on a prompt to share what in his life is important and makes him the individual he is.

WMS - Ryan C. (8th Grade): Ryan used mixed medium to create a Life in a Jar. A beautiful mix of stunning shading and tropical vibes.
