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 didn't have any REGULAR SKIN COLOR at table 6. I had to use tan that is shown. Also the picture on the book is not looking nice (you would like it). And i have lots of touchups shown on the pictures. The fork for green eggs and ham looks like a bone arrow (looks like a fork exactly to you).

I wasn't at school when we were finishing this so the cat wasn't all finished like the cat's back the middle of the book and the the hat at the back of the book so I don't really love it but I still do.

The book i'm reading is Fox and Socks by Dr. Seuss. I thought it would be a good book for me to paint because i've never read it before. I'm guessing it's about a fox in socks...............
