Art-o-rama!

Superhero by Aurora! Speaking of superheros, Aurora is one of our first students of the month!

Rio is our other first student of the month!   Here he is with one of his funny,  excellently illustrated comic books.

The Dragons have been busy working on our giant landscape.

Here are Aurora,  Adam,  and Demitri priming the canvas with gesso. Overheard during the priming: "We're like real artists."  

Next came the tracing.  Here are Piper,  Kara,  and Angelique tracing a projected landscape into the primed canvas.

Here is the original landscape drawn by Rowan!

Here are Khalifa, Jerzee, Savannah, and Malyki working together on the first painting shift.

I love kids' art.  It's been so interesting watching how their drawings are changing from 1rst to 2nd grade.  Human figures are getting more attention and detail.  Here Neenah is drawing D'Andre.

Here Demitri has really considered how he will paint his landscape.

The kids are getting inspired by each other's drawings.  Here Asher is observing D'Andre at work.
