Kindergarten is mastering painting! They spent three classes using two primary colors at a time, and now used all three together. They are exploring and discovering color mixing and the kinds of pictures and design they would like to make.

Second grade put on their architect hats. They studied the designs of buildings in Durham, then created their own building designs using collage. Last, they drew blueprints to show the inside of their buildings.

5th grade finishing building their ice cream bowls and spoons! We took two classes to make these to allow them to get them just right.

A peek into Kindergarten’s new assemblage unit! The first class was all about texture.

Dream Home assemblages have begun in first grade!

How can you make a person or animal with these materials? K had so much fun creating handmade toys. They made many creative choices in how they arranged the cardboard to make the bodies, and how they matched the textured materials to show their puppet’s details.

When is a time you are in action? Fourth graders are hard at work showing personal stories of times their bodies bend, stretch and move!

First graders painted their cardboard dream homes to make them more unique 🌈

We’re back! A new display is up showing off 4th grade’s action paintings.

Third grade is creating self-portraits from observation! Last week they practiced with pencil, this week they made a new pencil drawing then added ink 🖤

Third grade made paintings showing a family tradition! They each chose a weekly, seasonal or holiday tradition they look forward to.

Kindergarten has begun sculpture! They are exploring how to turn the paper from 2-D to 3-D and making imaginative work.

Congratulations to our Easley Art Stars who were selected for the Durham’s Finest Art Show!

Third grade self-portraits from observation. They learned about the proportion of the face and used mirrors to look closely. 👀

Next, Third Graders used sharpie, ink, crayon and watercolor to make self-portraits with color!

K read The Colors of Us and made self-portraits using their special skin colors.

4th grade is exploring NC Landmarks! Last week they sketched multiple landmarks from photographs. This week they made final drawing using their sketches and photographs. The final drawings will be used to make prints!

First grade made mixed-media self-portraits and wrote dreams they have to make the world a better place.

K artists read The Colors of Us by Karen Katz and found their special skin color to use for their self-portraits.
