Here are some of my latest art projects from my school kids.

All these pictures are from my first and second graders.
These flowers look really bright in the hallway right now. I think I should have used a flash for these.

This is my favorite. The students drew mammals in their habitats to go along with their science lessons.

The students outlined their animals with marker, then they painted the whole picture with q-tip dots, an art style called pointillism. This was difficult for them because they wanted to paint everything smoothly. I love to push them out of their comfort zones.

This one is Kayla Geiser's jack-a-lope in the desert.

Prairie dog in the mountains.

As a filler project while others were finishing projects, some of the students created spring animals using hand prints with paint.

Ed & I visited a Norman Rockwell show in Columbus and yes, we drove down there just to see the art work! This is a self-portrait he did that is make into 3-D display.

Another self-portrait made 3-D.

All these 3-D displays are all made from art prints painted by Rockwell.

Man, is he ever excited that he has to practice trumpet!

You better be nice!

I love this picture. Kids made the snowman to look like this old man.

All these paintings were done for Saturday Evening Post covers.

The displays were clever in how they used the 3-D art as part of the surroundings.

In the full painting, this girl is walking past boys skinny dipping in the river.

Rockwell often used neighbors and friends to pose for him. Once cameras were available, he would take their pictures so they didn't have to pose so long. He also used himself in
many pictures. I wish all of you could have seen this display!
If you need more pictures, let me know! :)
