THREE Vienna ES artists are featured in the Connection Newspaper! So proud of them!

LOVE ending my week with these hard working 5th graders! Check out these exquisite corpse collaborative character drawings where they focused on visual texture, pattern and color!

Ending Kindness Month by wrapping up our paper play space sculptures! 5th and 6th grade Vienna artists created paper playgrounds with a focus on inclusion and their ideas for designing equipment for ALL to enjoy were thoughtful, creative and fun! FCPS Fine Arts

First week back from maternity leave and Vienna ES students sure showered me with kindness! 💕

Can’t hide the smiles- these Vienna ES students explored CLAY this week!

While our global hero clay masks were in the kiln, 5th grade had fun painting to the music of Sia and, Encanto, of course! 🖌 🎨 🖌 🎨

Last week of the quarter means design challenges! Proud of these fourth graders for stretching their thinking and working together 💪
