I saw that the theme for this project was Victorian House with Two Moods. I think you captured that by the use of a different color on each half of the house. The brighter red with light in all the windows, a welcoming front door and bright sunshine with blue sky projects a happy, upbeat mood. The half painted brown with darkened windows and dark, bleak sky, project a somber, depressing mood. Maybe that little snowman standing at the corner of the dark half will lighten the mood on that side. (-; Good work Roland! You're tapping into your creative side very nicely!!

I enlarged the picture to take a closer look and was amazed that you used yarn to create the fish, the water and the green lake plants. This is really good Roland!! You even captured movement in the water by the way you rippled the yarn. You definitely have creative talent! I always look forward to seeing your new work.

Wind art...I've never heard of that before. But how cool!! I have seen pictures of wind-swept deserts and the incredible designs that are created. I had never thought of those designs as art, but they are. As I studied this cloth piece closely, it looked like a beautiful deep blue rose. Nice work Roland!!

The first thing I thought when I saw this picture was how one candle flame can light the darkness. The wavy lines around the candle made me think of how many people can be influenced and see in the darkness as the light radiates outward. I know that probably wasn't what you were aiming for, but the wonderful thing about art is that it can inspire different ideas and emotions from anyone/everyone who view the same piece. Good work Roland...you have learned so much in 5th grade.

Water colors are a fun medium to work with! I especially enjoy the colors you used for the poinsettia...if growers could actually create a poinsettia like this, they would make a fortune!! Hmmmm...this artwork will also be in the running for the 2025 Christmas card. (-:

Roland, this is really good! You captured dimension so well...the four skyscrapers look exactly as they would if you had taken a picture with a drone. I think this one may be in the running for my 2025 Christmas card...we'll see what 6th grade brings. (-:

This is a new type of art project and it looks great. I’ll bet this one was harder to do that most of your other projects. This is one of my new favorites!!

I really like the colors you used for this cake drawing. The combinations of color really pop off the page and make it look yummy! Great job son!!!

Roland, you have created the perfect alien eyeball!!! You certainly have a vivid imagination. I always enjoy how colorful your artwork is. Keep up the good work!!

Clay is not an easy medium to work with, but you did a great job. I know you like cats so this was the perfect subject for your creation. Is this supposed to be Lucky, Lovey, Nalla or Snoop??? Keep up the good work Roland!!

Roland, this is one of my favorites!! How did you draw/color the flag to make it look like it's flying in the wind??? Just amazing!! I love our country...I love our flag...and I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! Great work!!

Wow son I love this one a lot. You drew a great flag here and I like how it looks like it’s blowing in the wind. It’s always important to respect our American flag at all times and your drawing is just awesome! Great job bud!

Your Goofy Skull is perfect for celebrating Halloween!! The white rays make the skull look like it's spookily glowing. The eyes and ears say "be careful cuz I'm watching and listening" and those big teeth say "give me candy or I'll bite your fingers!! If this skull came to my door on October 31 and said "Trick or Treat", do you know what I would do???? GIVE IT A TREAT DUDE.....GIVE IT A TREAT!!!!! Happy Halloween Roland!! (-:

The pumpkin was a great choice since it's Autumn and we just visited a Pumpkin Patch. You said the most challenging thing was the illusion. Actually, I think you artistically represented it very well. Focusing my eyes on the picture, I can plainly see the optical illusion. The black rectangles moving from the front (first one), to the last one behind the pumpkin gives the effect of looking down a long hallway. The pumpkin looks suspended halfway down; held in place by the black rods in the shape of an X. You are definitely learning some terrific art methods. Keep up the good work!!!

That is really good son! Looks like a scary cat totem

What a great art project to start your 5th grade year! I also like the colors you chose. I think this was a wonderful example of mirroring...to me, if you folded it vertically or horizontally, the sides would match...not an easy thing to do, but you nailed it!! I need your help finding your name in this piece...I looked and looked but I was unsuccessful. Again, Roland, this is a terrific start to a year filled with artful learning!!

You're getting very good at working with clay. I liked the way you painted it...cool beans!! You've had a wonderful year filled with some great art pieces. I'm glad Artsonia makes it possible for me to share your work and to see your progress throughout the year.

This is very good! It took me a minute to see it, but then...there it was...coolest looking ever elephant EVER!! Nice work Roland!!

Love the bright colors! The folded paper reminds me of kites. Good work Roland!!

This is titled "Suspicious Man"...hhmmmmm...it looks suspiciously like you. (-; Great teeth, great hair, great glasses...this wonderful piece of art could sure be a self portrait. Great work Rollie!! You're definitely tapping into your inner creative talent.

I like this nutcracker Roland...it reminds me of the one I place on the mantle at Christmas. Shading is difficult but I think you're well on your way of learning how to do it. Practice and patience is the best way to improve not only your art, but lots of other things. Keep up your great work!

This was an interesting project. I like how you put the sun in the upper corner and then showed how the sunlight cast shadows off the pumpkins. You continue to develop your artistic, creative nature. You even made the pumpkins appear 3D by drawing in the ribs. This is good work Roland!! Keep learning and creating!!

You keep getting better and better! I especially liked this piece because I also enjoy books. I like the way you used the white flower as a contrast to the collage of colorful clippings of books. Nice work Roland...really nice!!

This is a pretty interesting picture. I see the sun, flowers, a caterpillar, a spider and many other things I can't identify. Nice work with different shapes and sizes.

The geometric shapes and vibrant colors really make this piece stand out. Nice work Roland!!

KC Lego man...awesome!! Looking at the glasses, I'm wondering if this is a self-portrait of you????? Nice work Roland!

I enjoyed having you describe each of these stamps. Very creative Rollie! If these were real stamps, I would absolutely use them to mail all our letters and bills. (-:

Your comment said "butiful cupcake"...how cool!! I would love to have a cupcake like this. Loads and loads of frosting...my favorite!! Keep up your creative art Roland...you're doing GREAT!!

Hi Roland!! More new art...YAY! You have drawn and colored the leaves of several species of trees...very good!! You mentioned that you didn't care for the purple leaf, but while it may not be purple, this leaf is shaped similar to one on a hazel tree. Keep up the great work! You're getting better and better!!

This is very good Roland! I especially like the way you have the moonlight reflecting off the pumpkins. Even though we're just starting Spring, your picture makes me look forward to Autumn and spooky Halloween!!

I'm curious...are these all different kinds of shoes??? Interesting piece...you will have to tell me about it. Keep up the good work!!

You will have to tell me the story about this picture. You have a wonderful imagination and it shines in your artwork!!

You are doing SO well in your Art class!! Keep creating and learning!! I'm always excited to see your new work!!

I didn't see "an artist's note" on this one so you will have to tell me about this one. I do like the colors you used and I'm pretty sure there is a story to tell here. Nice work Roland!!

Pretty neat self-portrait Rollie. Drawing faces can be difficult but I think you're getting the hang of it. Now I know what you will look like with a beard. (-:

What a cool picture of jelly fish!! The colors you used reminds me of how they look when they're in the ocean. Good work Roland!!

Wow!!!....you've really shown "movement" in this picture. Makes me want to get up and exercise right now! (-:

I just saw this piece of artwork titled Spooky Pumpkins. Well done Roland! It really does look spooky...especially the way the moon is reflecting off the pumpkins. Good job showing light and darkness!!

Perfect artwork for Autumn! Reminds me of the colorful leaves. I love that you're learning to express your creative nature!! Good work!!

You keep getting better and better!! I like all the colors you used and good job on the penguin.

Very interesting! Remind me to ask you about this piece and how you created it.

I'm excited to see your artwork this year! Love the warm/cool colors you used. This looks like something from Roblox??? Great work Roland!!

This is similar to the other one. I like them both very much! Good work Roland!!

Wow, this is quite beautiful! Love the way it looks like the buildings on top are being reflected in water below. I like the bright colors too!

Nice work! Interesting shapes and angles.

This is awesome!!! Love all the colors!!

Roland, your artwork has been wonderful this year! You have learned so much!! You are very creative and I look forward to what your art classes next year will bring.

During the last snowstorm we had, I looked out the back window and saw a bright red cardinal sitting on the neighbor's fence. Your picture reminds me of that. Good work Roland!! You're learning a lot in Art class!!

This looks like REAL candy!! Next time I see you, please tell me if this is a photo you took or was it made from clay and painted. Fun stuff in Art class!!

Wow!!! This is a very interesting piece of art, Roland! I don't know whether to be scared of the monster, or laugh because it looks like it's grinning at me. You're learning new techniques and that's exciting!! Keep up the good work!

Another great picture that reminds me of summer. You did a wonderful job on the rainbow colors!! Keep creating Roland!

Nice work Roland!! I LOVE lady bugs...it reminds me of our happy summers.

Your picture of a hot dog machine is so good that now I'm hungry for one and want to go to the QT station and buy one. (-; Keep up your great artwork!!

I love sunflowers! Whenever I see them in person or in a picture, I am reminded to do what they do...always keep facing the sun...the light. Your picture is very well done and it makes me feel happy. Thanks Roland!!

I hadn't seen this art piece until today. It reminds me of what the needles on our Christmas tree look like when we get real close and study them. Good work Roland!!

Roland...this is EXCELLENT!! The polar bear looks like he's very happy and enjoying the snow that is falling. Keep up the great work grandson...you're very talented!!

This is SO cool!! I hope you keep it forever so you can see how your hand looked when you were in kindergarten.

Roland, this is the first time I have seen any of your artwork. This is wonderful! It looks like the beautiful tree in your front yard. I love Autumn!!

This looks like a spooky monster! I’ll bet we see a lot of things like this when we go trick or treating this Halloween.

Wowo Rollo I love your drawing! You sure are talented
