Our Identity Unit!


Students have wrapped up the projects from our Identity unit and the artwork is out on display in the hallway looking fabulous!  I changed the small bulletin in the hallway to tell visitors more about the big ideas the students create their art around. This bulletin will change with the art displays so keep a look out!

 Take a look below to see what you can find as you enter the doors here at CSES :)


Third grade paper mache masks... so awesome and unique!!  Each one has it's own "IDENTITY" :)





Fourth grade surreal self-portraits inspired by the surrealist artist Rene Magritte.  Every student's symbol represents something more about their identity rather than just seeing what meets the eye!




Kindergarten mixed media self-portraits.  These are full of expression!!



First grade ceramic full body self-portraits on mixed media backgrounds.  Everyone that sees these just fall in love with them!  Aren't they so creative?!





 Fifth grade reduction print self-portraits with analogous color schemes.  These are so realistic since they learned the proper facial proportions!

I love the bow-tie on this fellow!! :)


Second grade superhero self-portraits inspired by Roy Lichtenstein.  Students used the visual characteristics in Lichtenstein's artworks such as bold black contours, color schemes, and Ben-Day dots!!  The Ben-Day dots for this project were created from painting bubble wrap and making bubble wrap prints!


This superhero loves animals... hence the animal print cape!! LOVE IT!!!

Our little Dolphins are SO CREATIVE and full of talent!!  I am so glad they get to show it all off in the artroom!!!!!

On Thursday and Friday of this week I will be out at the Virginia Art Education Association conference in Falls Church, VA.  I can't wait to bring back the great ideas I get from this conference and share them with students and here on the blog!  Make sure to check back for an update about how the conference went! :)
