You did a wonderful job with your first attempt at "Circle Art". I love the lines and patterns that you drew inside of the circle. You are on your way to learning how much fun using Math concepts in your art projects. Be sure to add a statement saying how you made this great circle art and what you liked best. Very good job!

You have achieved the standard of using the principles of art to create a unique artwork. I can see your "focal point" or "center of interest". You have used the correct colors for the color family of your choice. Love how the arrows MOVE the viewers eye around your art. You are learning all the tricks and techniques that will help you become an accomplished artists. YOU GO 4TH GRADE. Your watercolor painting skills keep getting better and better. Beautiful compositions too.

What beautiful work! As you found out, the principal of art MOVEMENT is fun and challenging to create in an art work. You have achieved the standard of using MOVEMENT in an original design. This project can also be done with plain white paper but your beautiful lines and colors really make it "POP". My eye does move around your composition. Challenges were making the curves using straight lines. Very good job for your first try. I hope you decide to try this project over and over. The more you do it, the easier it will be come and soon your line with be twisting and curving all over the place making your viewer quite dizzy! Next step..........Optical Illusion Design! Add a statement to your work. Tell me what you like the best and what was the most difficult to complete. Keep up the very creative work.!

You have done a fantastic job on this assignment. It is not easy to draw in 1 pt perspective and make it look real, but you have achieved that standard. You also have demonstrated achievement in the area of color theory, highlighting and shading techniques, as well as watercolor painting techniques. A beautiful job and an AWESOME art work to be proud of. Keep up the good work. Your artistic skills are growing and growing. Good for you!

There were several standards that you had to achieve in order to have a successful project. First did you draw a geometric composition using a ruler and a compass correctly? If so, good for you. Next was the large triangle the focal point of this art? Did you use 2 different color families so that the large triangle really stood out. If you answered YES to all those questions, good for you! You have achieved all the art standards. This was not an easy task. You found out that it takes PRACTICE to use a ruler and compass correctly. These skills should also be used in your math classes now and in the future. Beautiful results. Add a statement to your project here that also answers these questions. A job well done. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! You have achieved the standard of creating a 3D art work using a sculpting technique (plaster gauze). Also you have used knowledge from a core class (Social Studies) for inspiration in creating your art project. Working in 3D does acquire skill. The more you work in 3D the better you will get. For your first sculpture project, you did a great job. This project used sculpture, painting symbols, and embellishments (adding the beads and feathers). The finished projects are great. The Drum Circle class activity was great and I think you all enjoyed beating to the real Native American Indian music. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! You have achieved the drawing standard of using the techniques of highlighting and shading to make a 2D object appear to be 3D. Your patterns are very authentic and look like the Indian Pottery we looked at in class. As you practice these techniques more, you will get better and better in drawing objects that look "real". Keep up the great work. You also learned how important it is to know History as well as Art. Both are important.

This project incorporates history into the art lesson. We looked at the Church of Notre Dame in Paris, France and studied the Rosetta or Rose Window which is one of the most famous examples of radial design used in architecture. Maybe someday, they will travel to Paris, see this window and have pleasant memories of their art project. Beautiful results

I think this is a very cold day picture. I really like the way you have colored the snow on the tree. It makes me want to build a fire and have a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. -- Nee-Nee

Jonathan, This is a wonderful whale! Can't you just imagine swimming with him? Maybe we will get a chance to go see some whales this summer. Love you! -- Nee-Nee

What a GREAT puppet. I think I will let you make one for me when you come to stay with me and Grumpy in a few weeks. Love Nee-Nee -- Nee-Nee

You are so talented! I love ALL of your pictures, and I am so proud of you. I know you had fun drawing them. Keep up the good work.

Hey Jonathan, I sure wish that we had some snow to play in. We could make a great BIG snowman like the one you made. We could even have a snowball fight. Maybe we will wish for snow for Christmas. Love Nee-Nee

Boogie! What a great snowman. I hope we get to make one together one day. I was about your age the last time I made one!

We love these leaves. Reminds us of the holidays coming up....can't wait to see you. Hugs and Kisses. Uncle William and Aunt Becky

Hey Boogie, That sure is a PRETTY, PRETTY picture. I know that you had a great time making it. I wish we had a great big pile of leaves to play in. We could throw them in the air and hide under them, too. Love you lots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
