Self-Portraits Students create a self-portrait that tells something about themselves and a favorite place they visited at some point in their life. |
|
Seasonal Tree Paintings Students studied the different seasons they experience in their community. They then choose a specific season and painted a beautiful tree during that season. |
|
Weavings Learning to weave and incorporating patterns turned into a fun and creative lesson for kindergarten. |
|
“Up Up and Away!” Paintings Students were inspired by hot air balloons and a story they wrote about a balloon ride. They painted a birds eye view painting to illustrate their story. |
|
Emotional Trace Monotype Students studied body language and facial structure in different emotions. They took pictures and used their images to create a trace monotype using block printing ink.
|
|
Observational Tree Drawings Students used an observational drawing approach to draw a tree at the same time and place as their classmates. We were pleasantly surprised to see so many different interpretations of the same subject matter.
|
|
Scraffito Emotion Trees Students used their observational drawings as a jumping off point to create a more abstract and emotionally charged tree. They used oil pastels for color and scratching tools for texture in their composition.

Changing Landscape Paintings Students will create an illustration in a painting of a landscape in a certain area of the world that is being transformed by nature in some way. I hope to incorporate technology into this unit, by using the Photo Story program when we approach it. |
|
Distorted Self Students use photographs of themselves to distort and abstract certain features of their face. They use pencil to shade and add value. |
|
Self-Portrait Paintings Students study the shapes that make up the body and create a painting of themselves. |
|
Emotional Self-Portrait Sculptures Students used recycled cardboard found around our building to create a bust of themselves showing a particular emotion. Texture was so important in this assignment to create a visually pleasing sculpture. |

My Buddy and Me Drawings Students discussed how to show depth using overlapping. They drew themselves and a friend in a place they have a fond memory of. |

The Greenbriar East PTA in partnership with the Greater Reston Arts Education program bring an artist to life for our students each month. The PTA works to create a project that has been inspired by a selected artist. They discuss the artists life and artwork and then create a great lesson and display of student artwork in the cafeteria. The GRACE program is a fabulous supplement to our art program here at GBE! |

Self Portraits Students created a self portrait using cut paper that expressed an emotion. They learned the proper proportions and placement of facial features. |
