Dryden Elementary
Arlington Heights, Illinois
Thanks for making our Dryden online digital art gallery a place where students can watch their abilities grow as they grow in self-esteem. Your participation makes all the difference from joining fan clubs, sending comments, and purchasing cool products that feature their artwork to those discussions at home about the wonderful things that they're exploring in art class. Our kids are loving it! Teach your children how to write a compliment to a fellow artist/classmate and explore artwork from all over the world. Help your student reflect on their artwork by encouraging them to write an artist statement for their published art.
Visit our school website and the Fugleblog to stay up to date with all the wonderful things happening in Dryden's Art Program!

Let's make it our goal to get every student in the Hall of Fame this year!
Thanks again for your support.

I love the colors in this piece, but the mistakes bother me. Robert Indiana did a similar piece using the word "love". The letter "A" is hard to see, so I would change the colors to make it easier to see. Two dark colors do not go well together. Seeing the two dark colors together surprised me because I thought it would look different when it was done. We looked at a picture of Robert Indiana's piece in front of a museum, then I drew the big bubble letters and then I painted it. Using the iPad, we added some features.

My favorite part of this piece is the color. I could have drawn the legs better. My imagination just sparked, and I got this idea. If I could change anything about this piece, I would fix the legs because they look sloppy. I learned that drawing legs on aliens or people is not easy. I wasn't surprised by this artwork at all. First, I had to think it up in my head, then I drew it out using a can as a base of the character, then I colored it using the iPad, it was used in a video and then it ended up on Artsonia.
