4th Grade Op-Art

Op-Art is short for optical illusion artwork. After looking at and discussing some popular optical illusions in class, the 4th grade students created their own using complimentary color pairs. Check out the final drawings on display in the art hallway of school or on Artsonia.

Figures in Action!

During the past few weeks, the 3rd graders have been learning about the artist Keith Haring. They have seen pictures of his artwork and learned a little about his life. Haring is known for drawing and painting simple human figures that can be seen throughout his artwork in many different poses. The 3rd grade students practiced drawing figures in different action poses in the style of Keith Haring. They chose four figures from their practice drawings and created a final drawing adding color to the figures and line patterns to the background.

The finished drawings look amazing! They can be seen on display in the Irving hallways and will soon be published on Artsonia.
