The Art Studio had a slow opening this year as students went through drawing, collage, & painting "bootcamps" to learn about techniques & art media. Here are a few of the amazing pieces created in the studio yesterday & today. Hawthorn Hill Elementary #teachingforartisticbehavior #LSR7K5art

Week 3 of opening Collage, Drawing, & Painting centers in the HHE Art Studio. These 2nd grades are so focused on their amazing artwork! ❤🎨 Hawthorn Hill Elementary #childcenteredart #LSR7K5art #LSR7proud

The first of many Finish It Fridays of the school year encourages HHE artists to Engage & Persist on finishing artwork they already have in their portfolios. All new paper is inaccessible. Hawthorn Hill Elementary #LSR7K5art

Today we focused on the Studio Habit of Mind: Understanding Art Worlds by learning about Dia de Los Muertos celebrated in Mexico. Students were then given the opportunity to draw their own sugar skull, or they could explore their own ideas. Hawthorn Hill Elementary #SHoM #LSR7K5art

Student asks, "Can you guess what I'm making?" I love when the Paper Sculpture Center opens. #paperart #teachingforartisticbehavior #LSR7elementaryART

S: "Can I draw that?" Points to skull on top of a cabinet. Me: "Of course. Which Studio Habit will you be focusingon today?" S: "Observe." #SHoM #teachingforartisticbehavior #LSR7K5art

A 4th grade student spent her art week making a board game. She used the Collage, Drawing, Sculpture, & Fibers centers. She even made a directions page (not pictured). I'm so proud of her. Hawthorn Hill Elementary HHE4thGrade #teachingforartisticbehavior #LSR7K5art #LSR7proud

Aubrey found an inspirational stencil of a giraffe in the idea center. "Envision- artists picture ideas in their minds and plan next steps while making art." "Express- artists communicate their idea through their choice of media and technique." Hawthorn Hill Elementary #SHoM #LSR7K5art

Fan brushes were a great investment! I enjoy seeing how painters use them. Hawthorn Hill Elementary Kim Mooney #teachingforartisticbehavior #LSR7K5art

Final NEST meeting of the year! We ate popsicles and made art with sidewalk chalk. Hawthorn Hill Elementary

Me: I like your gray moon. Why did you decide to do gray? S: Actually, I was using white, but the black paint must have still been wet. I like the gray moon better. Me: So a happy accident then! Hawthorn Hill Elementary #LSR7K5art #teachingforartisticbehavior
