Wow Alyssa! ????? I enjoyed seeing the "Dotted Flower" and reading the rational behind how you created it. You really have grown as an artist and creator of interesting interpretations of things and beauty in the world around you. Continue to explore Art as your go through your schooling and beyond . . You do have an abundance of talent. ? Grandma ??

Alyssa, This is a very interesting assignment. I am thinking you are showing the two houses in your life right now. The house you live in and the one you are buying ? I also see nervousness as well as happiness going to both homes. Great drawing! ???

It’s so creative!! I love you

What a great deal of action and movement I see in your work ! Nancy

Your rainbow shape reminds me of an animal head with short ears or bulging eyes. Your rainbow certainly has an abundance of blue shades. I especially like purple and red... Perhaps this spring you will have an opportunity to photograph a rainbow by your school or home.

This is really interesting, Alyssa. You have excellent proportions on your face and the start contract is fun. I know you are also a good student, athletic, dancer, and kind to animals. How great to be talented in many areas. thanks for sharing this.

Alyssa!??????? Great job on the drawing of an eye. I really like the white dot that makes the eye come alive!!! You are learning many neat skills in Art Class even if you are at home right now. Keep up the good work!! Love you!!????

I love your eyeball. It looks like yours.

You have a difficult project and have done a fine rendering ! The emphasis on the eyes and calm expression are noticed. Is this a pencil image ? Human faces are math and you have the proportions. Looking forward to the next image !

Alyssa !! ??????? I am always impressed with your self-portrait at the beginning of each school year! So . . exactly WHAT impresses me the most . . 1. As always, you filled up your page. 2. You use design in your picture (clothes) and I KNOW you like colorful clothes! That took a long time coloring in each square!!!! 3. You have a great expression on your face like someone who is EXPLORING new things and isn't sure how the exploring will turn out! 4. AND YOU HAVE TAKEN THIS ASSIGNMENT AND SHOWN US CHARACTERISTICS OF YOUR AMAZING PERSONALITY!!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND AMAZED AT ALL YOU DO! YES, YOU do like going new places and you want to experience new adventures! PERFECT portrait of a GREAT 5th grader?? LOVE!!!???

I just saw this. What a great pic. I want it on my Nixplay!!

I love this picture!! You are a wonderful person.

Great colors - is this a paper collage ? Your placement of the main subject (you) and the background is ideal. I'm looking forward to more of your art. May the rest of your year be enjoyed. Nancy

Looking good!! Love the colors.

Aly, Beautiful Color wheel! Great job as usual! Keep creating! Love,?? Grandma R

Aly, Interesting assignment!! I really like the yarn detail!!! Nice color between the yarn and the pink bottom section of the vase. Keep creating at home! Love, ?? Grandma R.

This looks like a clay project with enclosures and plantings. Due to the scale I am not able to tell inhabitants or visitors to the zoo. I am curious as to the red piece in the upper left hand edge of the paper. Perhaps you will draw your cat while you are home ? Thanks for the sharing.

Is this Poe’s girlfriend? Lol. Beautiful drawing. Love you. Grammy

Great spooky job!!

This has strong lines and is a favorite of the three I have seen of your photos. Thanks for sharing. Nancy

Alyssa!! I am SO impressed with your photography and the"Rule of Thirds"!! You really NAILED it!! Who knew you would be such a great photographer!! I also love your action shot "Spin". What a great assignment! I can't wait to see what else will be done in Art Class :) I can't wait to see MORE!! Love You, Grandma

Again you have chosen contrasting materials and texture. Will you be doing black and white photos too ? Double exposure ? Perhaps you will be the photographer on your next n Visit north ! Thanks for sharing your creative fun.

Great colors and texture plus you have the bench close up and off set. If you wanted to reduce this to lines it would be a strong composition of lines and planes. I am impressed you have cameras to use and how careful this image was composed. May you enjoy more photography as art.

Hi Alyssa!!! YOU really shot a nice composition with your 'Blue Bench" photo!! I think it is really neat that you are also learning about photography in Art Class!!! I think you nailed the assignment and I love how the blue bench is a part of the photo rather than the only thing in your photo! Job well done!! Can't wait to see the next project :) Love You!

Looks like you have a good eye for photography!!

This is terrific ! The color is happy and the dark lines define space. This is a great pattern and design. Instead of circles I see more trapezoids, pyramids , and other geometric space. Is this paint or crayon ? Have you done any tissue paper projects using shapes ? Thanks for sharing. -- Nancy

ALYSSA!!!!!!????? THIS is my FAVORITE for this year!!?? SUPER cool design and COLORS!! GREAT choice of colors!?? LOVE it!! LOVE YOU!! ??? -- Grandma R

Alyssa, ????? Your Abstract Art and designs have really been fun to see this year!! I hope you enjoyed designing them. I look forward to NEXT year's art as a 4TH Grader - WOW!!! Love as Always ? Grandma ?? -- Grandma R

You used the space of the paper very well with one large clear drawing. Is this a Uni-cat or Poe with a party hat on ? You have good details on the face. I'm glad cats don't fly or our cat, Quill, would be more successful as a hunter of birds. -- Nancy

I love this picture. Looks like I need to order another t shirt!! -- Mary

Your art piece may be the favorite of all your work. The curves and colors plus shading are very interesting. this would make a great quilt fabric. I hope you frame this one. -- Nancy

Your 'rainbow' cat is a fun print. Of the four the blue on yellow is colorful and it looks like you were able to do different paper. Is this like what your kitten will be like ? -- Nancy

Nice cartoon. You really are creative & funny!! Love. Grammy -- Mary

Your dragon fly piece is colorful. I sm ready to have summer returns and the dragonflies hatch out again. Thanks for sharing your art this way. -- Your Nancy

Alyssa, Dragonflies are one of my FAVORITE flying insects. I also LOVE bumbles :) I think you are right that a pond will bring out the colors and shine of the dragonflies bodies. I'm really glad that you imagined this picture and drew it so well. Thanks for sharing it with us!! I really look forward to seeing MORE of your creations from Art Class :) You know I LOVE you BUT I'll say it again :) Love, Grandma R -- Grandma R.

Your pictures just keep getting better all the time!! Love you, grammy -- Mary

Alyssa - What a GREAT title for your creative drawing/painting!!! You really are showing EXPRESSION in the face of those you draw!! I can tell this is a SCREAMING Alyssa in that water!! (I am NOT a fan of sharks either!) Great use of your paper - filled the page - dramatic sky colors and I can tell those are sharks with their fins ABOVE the water!!! Other sea creatures are watching!! I LOVE this picture and can tell it is definitely worth 3 WEEKS of work! YOU can be PROUD of this ART!! ?? Grandma R. -- Grandma R. ??

Nice job! A little scary on the alyssafant! -- Grammy

I love ur creative turtle!! -- Mary

Your mola is very different from those I've seen from Central America. Did you rip and tear the layers ? Molas are usually layers of solid colored fabric with each layer cut and then sewed back to make a narrow edge. Are you studying Nicaragua or you are being various art types ? Have a great summer - may you enjoy painting and drawing on the rainy days when you are inside and would like a break from reading, playing. or helping with other projects. -- Nancy

I love the colors you used. You are quite an artist. -- Grammy

Your bright colors and shapes are interesting. I am interested in the designs from ancient Egypt. I saw part of the King Tut exhibit in Houston, Texas and I have postcards from the visit. I'll try and remember to share them with your 'grandma' and she may mail one to you. -- Nancy

That is a really good pinch pot! I think you really like working with clay. I always enjoyed playing with clay too :) Love You, Grandma R -- Grandma R

Nice job Alyssa! I love the colors and details! Looks like your person is taking many interesting things with them to the afterlife. Keep up the good work! Love, Grandma R -- Grandma R

Alyssa says they are rocks:) -- Erin

This is confusing to me, Alyssa. It seems to be a brownish-red spheres and one has added 'dots' of clay. You had something in mind. I'm glad you are doing three dimensional work in addition to the flat paintings and drawings. What will you do next ? -- Nancy

A thing of beauty!! -- Mary

Colorful and the 'leader' has a bent elbow and knee - action plus music. Who is playing the base and drums ? Thanks for sharing. -- Nancy

You have captured people in many poses. Our skeletons are amazing to be able to bend at hips or the neck plus elbows, knees ,wrists and all those possible finger moves. Did you take a turn posing ? Thanks for sharing. -- Nancy

WHAT??? This is YOUR band and look at all those girls watching you!!! LOVE the audience's dresses and fashion outfits!!! You are singing and playing the guitar. I wonder who else would be in the band with you :) Good job on this drawing! Love You!!! Grandma R -- Grandma R.

Alyssa!!! Wow!! You are learning how to draw people and ACTION people too!!!! The poses of your classmates must have been fun to draw. I like that you are learning how the different parts of the body move and the center of a face where eyes will eventually be drawn. YOU ARE LEARNING LOTS THIS YEAR! It isn't easy drawing a body correctly and YOU are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!! Love, Grandma -- Grandma R.

I love the library too! Great pic of our favorite place. I love you. Grammy -- Mary

You have shown different views of the reader, Alyssa. Your seated person (you ?) is especially well done. The public library in Boyne City has a great collection of books plus more. Perhaps you have visited there when you come visit your 'grands' ? -- Nancy

Alyssa!!! What a GREAT self portrait!! I wish all girls would want to be Wonder Woman when they grow up because everyone needs to help others, be kind, recycle and help this earth be the best it can be. I think you will definitely be a Wonder Woman!! You are already a Wonder Girl!!!! I am SO PROUD of you and your art work is AWESOME!!!! Love you lots, Grandma -- Grandma

This looks like a super hero with a mask and cape - I'm glad you are back to posting art again. -- Nancy

Yes, you are a super girl!! -- Grammy

What fun colors and designs ! I like dots and purple so this is a great piece of work, Alyssa. Thanks for sharing. -- Nancy

This appears to be RED on my computer - a favorite color. How will you use your decorated lantern ? Thanks for sharing your art work this year. I hope you are able to continue this summer with drawing, painting, and sculpture ideas. Perhaps you'll draw a picture of your house or favorite toy or even yourself. I look forward to more art work. -- Nancy

I love this picture. I think it would make a great totebag. Love you. Grammy -- Mary

Alyssa!!! I ? THIS COLLAGE OF TEXTURES!!! It is so interesting to look at as there are so many interesting colors and shapes and textures! THIS is one of my FAVORITE art works this year!! Keep up the great work! Love you!! Grandma -- Grandma

Colors I like and fun shapes and lines - this would make a great quilt or fabric for clothing, Alyssa. Red is a great color - looks like a rusty red and yellow plus blues on a creamy background - did you use markers for this ? Thanks for sharing. -- Nancy

Wow, Alyssa! This reminds me of an underwater scene!!! I love the different shades of green from dark to light. I think you did a great job on this assignment! It is one of my FAVORITES!!! See you soon, Love, Grandma -- Grandma R

I am reminded of a scene underwater with this pattern and way of showing light. You are doing at using the space on the paper to create your forms and symbols. Thanks for sharing this. -- Nancy

I don't see the opening to this 'pot' ? Is it a container for dried milk weeds or an interesting branch that may be blown down ? What a super color - aqua or turquoise says SPRING or BEACH - and most of those of us in the northern Michigan are ready for warmth and sunshine. I look forward to your next project. Nancy -- Nancy

Alyssa, ?? I so enjoy seeing your creative art work!?? I really love the BIG heart surrounded by many fun patterns and purple was a great color choice as well as filling up your page. You always have fun and colorful art to look at!! Keep having fun in Art Class!! I can't wait to see your next project!!! ? Love, Grandma ?? -- Grandma

Purple is a favorite color for you by looking at the backgrounds and fun heart. The size of the heart is good as it dominates the artwork. Have a great time with the patterns. I look forward to your next posting. Nancy -- Nancy

Alyssa. Great Art work. love the star and all the letters. -- Grandpa R

Your placement of the designs is interesting - you left some open spaces and mixed larger and smaller patterns. I am looking forward to your new ideas for 2017 ! Have you do a total deep color with crayons and then painted over all with a dark paint and then scratched off a patterns yet ? You can also fold a paper like a 'hot dog' fold and paint one side - fold it together and you get a print of your design. There are so many fun projects ahead for you. Thanks for letting me view your work. -- Nancy

Aly, I absolutely love this design! You chose so many neat letters and other designs to make your print. You can really be proud of all your art creations. This is one of my favorites. Keep creating!! Love, Grandma -- Grandma

Aly this wonderful picture really gives me the Christmas spirit! -- Grammy

The bright shapes and patterns are very interesting. I image this could become a quilt or fabric for a colorful coat. I am glad you are able to try different art projects. Thank you for sharing your work. Nancy -- Nancy

Yep Aly, Pastels ARE oily!!! What fun to draw shapes and color them in with a variety of colors and designs :) I hope you will work with Pastels again. It is fun to experiment with different types of art supplies. Keep up the good work :) Thanks for letting me see your latest art!!! Love, Grandma -- Grandma R

Aly, You are right!! Lines do make shapes :) I am enjoying the smile and blue eyes you placed in your picture. You are learning how to make a nose too. As always, you fill up your paper. Keep up the great art work. I do love seeing it all!! Love You, Grandma -- Grandma

Aly, You made a very special crown of many layers and colors. I also love your happy face and freckles :) Good Job!! Love, Grandma -- Grandma

I'm interested in the line portions of your piece. You have a great 'crown' and the colors are lovely. My hair is not blue but I'd be willing to try after seeiing this. Thanks for sharing. Nancy -- Nancy

Alyssa, What a great self portrait drawing , Way to go girl Keep up the good work -- Grandpa R

Aly, You have really improved on your self portrait drawing!!! As usual, beautiful color choice, filled up your page and added an interesting design in your background. I am so excited to see what other art you make this year! Keep up the good work! Love You, Grandma R -- Grandma R

I don't think the reproduction does justice to your beautiful hair color ! I see you are dressed for warmer weather also. Did you do this work with markers instead of crayons ? Thanks for allowing me to view your work, Ali. Nancy *Grandma Jane's friend -- Nancy

The colors and movements in this piece are excellent, Alyssa. It looks like you enjoyed creating this piece. Can you tell me what color was first or last ? The light blue 'pops' and I have always liked reds and black. Thanks for sharing. Nancy -- Nancy

Aly, I love this print! You have so many beautiful colors in a circle design. I think you have had a GREAT year in Art Class and I can't wait until I see more of your art in FIRST GRADE!!! Love, Grandma R -- Grandma R.

What wonderful bright colors you have used ! I can see flowers or a net for a game or even a chicken. What was the idea you started with ? Sharing your work is fun. Thanks. Nancy H -- Nancy

That is a great picture Grandpa loves it Keep up the great work -- grandpa R

Aly !!!! You captured Monet's style of art in YOUR art work!! You used your imagination and added COLOR in just the right places and used SHAPES of COLOR and FILLED up your page with SHAPES of COLOR and even used FLOWERS and outside things in your picture. This could have even been a picnic! I'd love to go to that place you drew and colored. Looks like a fun place to be! Keep up the great work! Love Grandma R -- Grandma R

Aly, Your outline of this Minion is perfect. I will ask when we visit exactly what your colorful Minion is doing :) He or she is definitely in a colorful mood. You sure did fill up your page. That is a good thing :) Keep on creating! Love, Grandma R :) -- Grandma R

Are you makings movie character? Thank you for sharing your efforts. ??4?? Nancy visiting in New Orleans -- Nancy

I love this picture!! You a one great snake maker!! Love. Grammy -- Mary

Your creation reminds me of two favorites snakes at Raven Hill Discovery Center. Checkers is a corn snake and Leroy is a Royal Python. Neither of them are the bright blue or have pink-eyes. Your snake would make a great book marker design too. What will you do next ? Nancy -- Nancy

What an amazing bird. How fun to think you created this one all by yourself. What color egg does the Alyssa Bird lay ? Is the nest on the ground, in a tree top, or inside a cavity ? Could that smaller bird in the bottom corner be the 'chick' ? The largest bird I have seen today is a raven. None of the winter birds coming in for suet or seeds are as colorful as your bird. -- Nancy

What a strong design and great colors. The purple background is happy and makes me think of purple crocus in the spring. Since I like the color red I noticed your name at the top. Thanks for sharing. Nancy -- Nancy

Alyssa!!! Did you pick out that purple background paper?? It IS AWESOME!!! I love how you built your project with the colorful shapes. You are doing super on cutting!! I bet you had fun making this! I had fun looking at it and can't wait to see your next project!! LOVE, Grandma R -- Grandma R

It's beautiful just like you!! -- Mary

Aly, I really enjoy the way you use shapes and color in your Art. It always makes me happy! -- Grandma R

Your drawing for your grandmother could be a lovely card ! I like your colors plus the different people. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your creative work. Nancy *friend of grandma -- Nancy

Thank you for letting me view the art done by Alyssa. What a cheerful house with the yellow door and red roof. You have filled in the whole page. I am looking forward to your next project. -- Nancy

Alyssa, I love your art work of your house and yard. I am going to come to your house and visit you over the Thanksgiving Holidays. Grandpa R -- GrandpaR

Aly, It is obvious that you took your time to get every detail of your face on this picture! You followed your teacher's directions and how creative to add glasses because you thought they would be a stylish addition!!! The darker colors you used around your face makes your face really stand out. That was a great choice of colors to use!! I am so proud of all your art work! You art definitely an ARTIST!! Love You! Grandma R. -- Grandma R

Alyssa, I love all your art work that you are doing in you Art classroom. Two thumbs up for you from Grandpa R -- Grandpa R
