How do you think of these ideas? Were you eating an Oreo???. I really like the orange and blue striped background too. Off to a great 5th Grade artist year!
Posted 5 years ago by Grandma Sherrill
Good choice with an Oreo! I think it might even be a MEGA STUFFING Oreo -- which is the best kind! I like the lines and colors and how it all works! Can't wait to see what's next!

What a cool way to display your name! I'd never have thought to do something like that. I love the talent and creativity you have and can't wait to see what you do next!!
Posted 5 years ago by Donna
This is really cool, Kane! Your arrows are amazing how they are laid out and intertwined. I like the use of color too. I'm wondering what the assignment was; but I know whatever it was, you nailed it!!! Another good job!!
Posted 5 years ago by Donna
Why is a great question! All of the arrows are an even greater answer. I like the shading and that some arrow are straight and some curved or even one is shaped like a snake:) Did you make that one especially for me? This is a piece of art that tells many stories.
Posted 5 years ago by Sherrill
I always like to see your artwork and try to imagine how your mind is working. "Ghost Files" looks like it would have a really good story behind it. You are very creative and I love to see what you create!
Posted 5 years ago by Donna
I bet you love these projects so you can use your imagination and your writing skills. Good work.
Posted 5 years ago by Grandma Sherrill
These creatures look like they could fly off the page. I love the one standing on the other one’s back. Smart. Is that Mars? Very exact shapes and the black outline really makes it stand out against the orange. Great colors on the entire work of art.
Posted 5 years ago by Grandma Sherrill
That little fish better watch out! You really made this picture come alive. (Maybe because you are an expert fisherman:)
Posted 5 years ago by Grandma Sherrill
I love your imagination. Great storyline—I didn’t realize how dangerous a clothespin could be!
Posted 5 years ago by Grandma Sherrill
Those mountains look like they demand respect. They are beautiful but yet scary. I would not want to be on them alone at night. I like the beautiful moon and birds that add light and life to your artwork. You always have interesting details to make your art tell a story.
Posted 5 years ago by Sherrill
This scary monster is great! The horns and fangs are the best. I can tell you love working with clay. Keep creating.

You know I love pineapple ??! Yours looks good enough to eat:) Good work as always.

Love the colors of the sunset. Great contrast against the tree. Makes me feel calm and relaxed.
Posted 6 years ago by Sherrill
Wow, Kane, this is one of my all time favorite paintings that you've done. I love the colors of the sunset and the contrast with the black --and especially the shape of the tree and it's branches. Keep painting!! You really have a special talent.
Posted 6 years ago by Donna
Love this because I know the idea came from your heart.??
Posted 6 years ago by Sherrill
This piece makes me feel warm and cozy. Making the bricks look real is very impressive, and I bet it took a lot of time and patience.
Posted 6 years ago by Sherrill
Love the pumpkins. ??. Makes me think fall—and be a little afraid of that ghost.??. Always enjoy your artwork.
Posted 6 years ago by Sherrill
That's a great Halloween scene, Kane! I love the ghost, floating above the pumpkin patch. I'll bet it's looking for trick-or-treaters to scare! That big pumpkin would make a great jack-o-lantern. Keep up the good work!
Posted 6 years ago by Donna
What a nice, warm, comfortable space! It's the perfect place to sit and relax and watch the wood burn in the fireplace! You did another great job, Kane. I think that chair is just waiting for me!!!!

Your weaving is so evenly done. Your use of different colors makes my eyes follow from top to bottom. I especially like the aqua and gold section that looks like stripes. How did you do that? Great work.
Posted 6 years ago
I love your weaving project! I don't think I've ever done anything like that. I scrolled through some of your other works too and it is amazing to see all the good work you've done! I'm so proud of you. Just think of all the many things you are good at!! Love you!!
Posted 6 years ago
Wow! I love the colors and the waves and the creative beauty of this art piece. Once again, I have no idea how you did it but I love it!!

What an interesting way to make your artwork seem like it is moving. Does it make you want to be on the river fishing?
-- Sherrill
Posted 6 years ago
Wow, Kane! What a cool, colorful, special piece of artwork. I'm always so amazed at what you do and how cool it turns out. This is really something special. You are so good at so many things, but art is one of the top talents of all! I'm proud of you -- ALWAYS!
-- Donna

Amazing, Kane! You pick the best colors.
-- Gary

How cool did this project turn out??? The colors are great and I love the shapes. It’s like an optical illusion. Maybe you could teach me how to do this when you visit this summer—when you’re not fishing.??
-- Sherrill
Posted 6 years ago
Kane, you are 100% a fisherman ??????????. I like how used the bobber and bait to balance your fish mobile. I bet you enjoyed this project.

5 hours later—having a snack, what a great idea ??. With that big mouth, he could eat a lot. Love it.
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 6 years ago
What a big mouth you have, Mr. Monster! I really like the detail on the mountains. Very realistic. The sky in the background brings interest and color to your drawing too. Love it.
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 6 years ago
PAC-Blob is one cool critter. With that big mouth, he could eat lots of fish! You and Poppy would have to catch a lot to keep him happy. You did a great job creating a new creature. Maybe he’ll star in a movie some day!??
-- Grandma Sherrill

What a great 3D project! I love the BIG mouth just waiting for your hook! The eyes are great too and the color contrast. Fun project ??????????.

You aren't just drawing pictures anymore but creating major art projects that I have never done. This is amazing. Right away I thought of Nemo! I love how you do such great work! You are so talented!
-- Donna

None of us who know you are surprised at what a great job you did with ths artwork!! Who knows fish and underwater creatures better than you and your Grandpa Gary??? You can see the movement through the water -- and I'm glad I'm out of its way!! Great job!

Kane, what a beautiful piece of artwork! I love the color, the shading, and the background. It makes me feel like I am looking into an aquarium. You are a talented artist. Bet you had fun, too!
-- Grandma Sherrill

Of course you would choose a fish to use for your drawing! ???? It really is interesting to see how the different shading makes such a difference in the total picture. I bet you enjoyed this project.
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 7 years ago
I bet no one at Becky David has gone fishing and caught as many fish as you. Who better to do great drawings of them than YOU?? It's amazing how real they look They are just waiting for you to catch them as they swim nearby!!!
-- Donna

You are off to a great start in 3rd grade art! I can see all the detail you put into your drawing. I love how the branch on the tree hangs down. Is that because you have been climbing on it?
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 7 years ago
I love Mr. Owl! What a nice job working with those small pieces of paper to make big piece of beautiful art. Great work.
-- Sherrill

If this fish could talk, he would tell big stories about you and Poppy fishing and trying to catch him.??. I love your use of colors and patterns. The TEETH look scary. I love that too. This is one of my favorite pieces of your wonderful artwork.
-- Grandma Sherrill

Your butterfly makes me think SPRING! My favorite parts (besides all the beautiful colors) are the antennas and perfect placement of the eyes ??. They are so realistic. Another great job, Kane.
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 7 years ago
Kane, what a beautiful butterfly to celebrate spring! You did a great job with the symmetry of both sides. It's amazing how perfect it looks. I hope to see one just as pretty fly by my window soon!
-- Donna

This is one of those pieces that look even better when you zoom in, Kane. The texture as well as the detail is amazing. You are a great artist. I love it that you have a church -- and the fun Fed Ex trucks were a great addition. I bet the teacher loves seeing what you do!
-- Donna

You have really learned how to do some interesting processes to create your artwork! This is an amazing new way to create a very interesting nature study. The sticks and rocks with the lighting and coloring is way cool. Great job!

Kane, I know you loved this project because I know how much you love nature. This turned out great. ?? From the arrangement of the branches and twigs to the cool colors to the light accent in the corner there is always something to catch my eye and enjoy. Love it! ??
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 7 years ago
What an interesting project to create 3 different portraits. I think the middle one looks the most like you—maybe when you are up to bat and concentrating on hitting a home run! You might even have a Cubs’ shirt on! You did a great job on all three pieces of art. I love seeing your work.
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 7 years ago
You are such a good artist, Kane! It's amazing to me what a talent you have. Your self-portrait is excellent. I can see your sad/mad face and your happy face. I like how you have changed your eyes as well as your mouth to show how you are feeling. I hope you are showing your happy face today!
-- Donna

Oh, Kane! You know my favorite part of the neighborhood, don't you? It's the baseball diamond, of course!! That's where all the Cubs learned how to play -- on a field just like that!! I love it!

I would love to hear your explanation about your drawing. I can see the baseball field is important to you??. I think the highway could take you LOTS of interesting places. Oh the places you'll go! Love it.

I've seen lots of high school kids' artwork that isn't this good, Kane! What a nice job on this building! I love the colors and how real it all looks. Actually, it looks good enough to be downtown by your mom's building, don't you think? I want to walk through that front door and see what's inside!
-- Donna

I love the mural on the side of your building, especially the "globe" and how you have the lines dividing up the vivid colors like a mosaic. (And perhaps a flame!)

This was one of the most fun projects I've seen done in an art class! I don't think I've ever seen anything like it where everyone got to contribute something. It's a very cool city with so many different parts -- and everyone could have it's own story, just like in a real city. Great job, Kane!
-- Donna
Posted 8 years ago
Of course all the fun for this picture story would be outside on a bright, sunny day! I like your trees and flowers and happy smile -- and especially the bright, warm sun!
-- Donna

I love your environment--beautiful blue skies, warm sunshine, fluffy white clouds, trees and flowers--what more could a person ask for to enjoy a wonderful day in the outdoors? The details on the trees makes them look like you could climb them ??. Is Michaela up in the tree? The smile on your face tells me you are ready to enjoy to have fun.

This is one of my favorite projects that you have ever done in art class, Kane! I love the soft colors and how well they look together. You just keep amazing me!

I love the leaf prints! A leaf is a work of art all by itself, but I love the way the prints look with the different colors behind them. This definitely needs to be framed and put on display. Nice job, Kane.
-- Sherrill
Posted 8 years ago
I loved this artwork immediately because of the interesting use of colors and because of YOUR handprints. Then I read the explanation of HOW you made this. Wow, you did a lot of steps to end up with this cool painting. I know you are always willing to work hard. That's one of the many things I love about you.
-- Grandma Sherrill

This looks like it really could have been on a cave wall years and years ago! I bet you liked this project because you love to explore and find treasures. Is this a story about a hunter or fisherman? It looks like water on the bottom. I need you to tell me the story.
-- Grandma Sherrill
Posted 8 years ago
I know that's not the first rock you've painted, but I think it might be the first one with CAVE ART on it -- and I love it! It really shows that time period and is so cool! You could do a whole collection!

Whoa! That looks like one angry dude! His eyes look angry but his teeth look like they are about to scream and go after someone! I actually LOVE how everything you did adds to the total look -- even the hair! This is way cool, Kane! I especially like his hair. It had to take you quite awhile to get all those details just right!
-- Donna
Posted 9 years ago
?? Mad for sure. From the scary teeth to the mean eyebrows, I can tell this dude is MAD. He looks so mad all the blood is in his face and he is ready to POP! I would not like him mad at me. Great job, Kane.

I love the beautiful colors in your sunset. The contrast makes the silhouettes stand out perfectly. It reminds me of the desert in Arizona.

You did a great job with this artwork, Kane; but you know I don't like little furry creepy things! They look like they could scamper right around my feet!!! I do have to admit they are very cute and you make them look just like real mice. I'm just glad it's just a picture!!
-- Donna
Posted 9 years ago
I never would have thought about mice ?? ????being so cute! I bet you had fun making your mouse ??. I like the colors in the background too. That really makes it easy to see the mice. It looks like the mice might be looking for a place to hide!
