Elementary Art Show

The girls' school held their annual art show last night!

My sweet kindergarten Lizzie with her two displayed works of art - a self portrait and a giraffe!


Evelyn's second grade art seemed so advanced to me!  I'm glad she really gets into art!  Both pieces are of owls - just different styles.


The school also uses this time as a fundraiser, so there were some things being sold, like works of art that entire classes had worked on (imagine - 30 parents wanting their child's art and it's a silent bid, so they actually do fairly well).  Kindergarten classes did crayon melting into flower bouquets.  Lizzie is standing by the one she helped with.

Evelyn's 2nd grade class is harder to tell, but they all got into groups of five and used one hand to make a 'peace' sign or wide 2 sign, then brought their hands together with the other kids' to make their 5 personal v's into a single star.  Then they made a photo collage of the groups of stars.

We admired another grade's mosaics.  I'm not sure if this was 4th or 5th grade, but they did a lovely job.

At the end, there was a craft section where the girls could make a picture.  The objective was to make a self portrait in a particular style - I think we were mimicking Craig Redman?  The girls just wanted to make rainbows, though, so that's what they did.
