Cool eye. So somebody loves dragons

WOW! Love it

Beautiful, Gianna! The art is beautiful too.

Gianna, this is another beautiful project, a fabulous piece to add to your portfolio! Your lanterns are gorgeous; each so unique, they complement each other nicely, and your night sky couldn't be prettier. Your attention to detail with color and shading is most impressive--and those stars! (I'm gazing at them in search of constellations...) As always, your assignments have allowed (encouraged!) me to learn more about a particular artist, movement, place, or cultural tradition. I've enjoyed learning about Ramadan and these beautiful decorative/symbolic lanterns today, too! xo

Gianna, this is beautiful! I think this is my favorite of all the pieces from your 5th grade collection. It reminds me of some place in Arizona! Well done! Love, MOM

I love this nighttime artwork! I can't wait to display the original in our house. Where should we hang it? -- Love, Mom

Wow, Gianna; this is great work, and what a fun assignment! I LOVE your Banksy robot and your positive message, too. (Yes, let's do our best; we CAN do many things and do them well!) Your robot is fabulous...I can tell you did YOUR best to create it--the "bend" in its arms and legs, the detail on the body, and that great facial expression.(And is that a little heart I see on its mouth?) The background texture, your lettering in fun colors; it's perfect, G. (As a side note, I hadn't ever heard of Banksy, so I'm catching up and have learned a lot today. What an interesting story/history! Do you think Banksy is a "he," a "she," or a "they"? There are many theories...)

Your sloth is adorable, Gianna, with great shading and texturing on those l-o-n-g arms and legs...and look at that cute face! His little nose and mouth are the sweetest, and I love his eyes! Will he hold pencils and pens on your desk? (This would also be a nice candy dish!) Will you name him?

I recognize van Gogh's work in your own "starry night" creation, Gianna! It's fun to see his techniques and night sky come to life in your modern Kansas City skyline. I also like the uneven lines of your windows and buildings...there is such beauty in imperfection. You've done a wonderful job with this assignment!

Another fun assignment, Gianna! I like your Haring-inspired self-portrait! I see your love of reading and books ("Wings of Fire," specifically), sweet little Eclipse, you playing soccer! I see a bird, a tree, the sun. Is that you with Hayden, or with a friend, maybe, in the top left corner? Nice choice of colors, and I like the squiggles! Do you enjoy pop art? Did you have fun with this project?

Gianna, grandpa had to look up what the words meant. Now it seems they mean to honor the dead for 2 days. Very nice embroidery pieces that could be used to place on markers of the deceased. Very nice work!

Gianna, you have decorated the most beautiful of donuts. Grandpa thinks you should market these in a local donut shop! They are beautiful and I'm sure delicious!

These donuts...they're perfect and they look sooo good, Gianna! I can tell that you took a lot of time and paid close attention to detail in creating this. I like the off-center placement of your subject, fun "frosting" colors, the way you've decorated them, and your skilled use of outlining and shading, too. Very nice...and yum! (Save one for me, will you?)

Excellent recreation of "The Scream," Gianna! I like your version... the river, the railing/bridge, your hands up to your face...your expression! Beautiful job, too, on the detail and texture you've created by simply using line to create your dress and hair. This is wonderful!

What a fun assignment! Gianna, yours is surely a slice of deep dish cheese pizza, yes? It looks tasty! (And kudos to your teacher for teaching you how to stitch/sew! It's a practical and valuble skill worth mastering...)

GIANNA, this piece of art is just really good! You really did a great job of showing a picture of a girl Screaming. You are becoming an art expert drawer!

Beautiful work Gianna! Love this??

Great lookin piece of pizza. Very nice Shape and color. Looks like it could be really Good to eat! . ..

Oh, those ice skaters...they look like they're having fun! (You and Hayden, maybe?) I can imagine their fancy footwork shown by the trails in the ice that they leave behind. Your winter cityscape is beautifully done, Gianna, and I am intrigued by the technique you used to illustrate the bright light of the city reflecting from behind each building. Very nice work!

Calico corn, indeed! Wow, Gianna; your creation is colorful, detailed, and oh, so beautiful! You drew many interesting shapes for the kernels, selected nice colors, and shaded them nicely. The detailed corn silk is just as striking; the lines create such interesting texture. This piece is worthy of a nice frame and deserves to be hung for all to enjoy. It's gorgeous!

Gianna, what a beautiful piece of art Very pretty colors. Really well Done on the ice skating figures. Just really overall great art Work!

Gianna. Beautiful colors of the corn. I could also see colors of a rainbow Also.

Gianna, Nice work and choice of colors. Love the mirror- now a picture of family Would look really nice! Grandpa Frank

Gianna, what s pretty picture frame and mirror. Good color choice. So a picture of family would fit there Just fine. Great job!

What a fun frame, Gianna! I like the polka dots. Do you have a special photo or picture for it? Did you learn about Dia de los Muertos, too? Lo hiciste excelente!

Gianna, this is really cool! Catching fire flies blinking Into a jar is neat! Petty colors--and they just come Out at night. Bet you can catch Them at night and maybe Read a book by their light. Grandpa Frank

Fireflies at night, indeed! Gianna, this is beautiful. The colors, texture, lines, detail, and imagery bring it to life...I feel like I'm there with you! As it's now fall, I imagine your fireflies are flying away for the season...they'll be back next summer!

Your Day of the Dead skull is gorgeous, Gianna! The blending of colors, added detail and decor...and is that a smile I see? Your skull is beatiful and looks happy. Very nice!

Beautiful eyes, the sweetest little nose, a slight tilt of the head. Cute little anters, a kind and gentle expression, and don't even get me started on that charming plaid bow tie. Your reindeer is splendid, Gianna!

Gianna! What a beautiful "quilt drawing." It looks like you're flying over the Missouri River and downtown Parkville, perhaps? This is nicely drawn with lovely colors and detail. Did you enjoy Tar Beach? It's a beautiful thing to believe we can fly and go wherever we want, isn't it?

A Picasso portrait! This is clever, Gianna--just like Picasso himself. I have to study it a bit...every time I look at it, I think I see another face, from a different angle. I can tell you must have paid very close attention during this lesson and worked hard to create it! You've captured Picasso's style beautifully!

What a pretty crayon box, G! I like that your crayons are "colors of the world." Beautiful...

Gianna, I'm not to up on the artist but I saw a pic similar. Looks really good. Not to sure what Picasso was trying to paint, but you did well. Grandpa Frank

Gianna, very good job of using different colors and pretty objects. Lots of tar lol. Grandpa Frank

Gianna, very well done on your reindeer project. Very good use of correct colors of the body, eyes and nose. Beautiful face. You are a true artist in the making!

Gianna, really nice work on the crayon box. Looks very real. So many colors to choose from. Reminds me of the crayons I had when I was your age. Some colors you can mix to make another color. Great job!

Gianna, very well done and scary Like the intricate details of entire Skull. Your mind really showed Good impressions. Grandpa frank

Gianna, this is a very interesting piece! I like your colorful window shades and choice of furnishings. You've also selected pretty colors for the walls. Is this an apartment you would like to live in some day? It looks very cozy! (Can I come for a visit? I will bring you cookies...)

Gianna, this is stunning! The colors used for (and the shading of) the sky are gorgeous, and the silhouette of the scenery (in black) is striking. And your little crow? Just adorable! What a beautiful job you've done...from his feather "markings," to the nare on his beak, to the pupil (or reflection) in his eye. Detail makes all the difference. I think this is one of your best pieces yet!

Gianna, just beautiful work! Perfect colors and very well done detail work. I think the whole picture captures a piece well done.

Your ring-tailed lemur is a beauty, Gianna! That is one long, fabulous tail, and what a colorful creature. I think you've created a new species...the rainbow lemur!

Gianna, such a pretty and colorful lemur! Your milti-colors make your lemur really stand out.

I like your swimming pool and the "bird's eye view" of it, Gianna! The various colors within the water create a feeling of reflection, and you've used line to create interesting and attractive texture surrounding the pool (concrete, tile) and motion within it (I see waves!). Very nice detail and depth to this drawing, G!

I think these horses must surely be the happiest and most colorful horses I have ever seen, Gianna! Just looking at your drawing makes me smile...you've done a beautiful job in choosing color and in drawing it. (Have you read "The Artist Who Painted A Blue Horse" by Eric Carle? It's a wonderful book, and I think you would like it!)

G very good work. Love the colors and mountains. Very good horses and looks like They are running free..

Gianna, beautiful colors and good on your outlines of the pool. I want to swim in your beautiful pool.

Nice campsite, Gianna! What were you studying, what was your assignment for this masterpiece? I see a tent, a campfire, and the night sky--and it looks like you used chalk, crayon, paint, and collage. I can tell you worked hard to create it! I like your color choices, too. -- Gram Chris

Going out limb here, Gianna. Nice picture of a tent in a campground In a forest with an owl and a wild looking Moon! Good job. -- Grandpa Frank

Your tropical bird is very fun, Gianna! I like the colors you selected and that big beak, too! You did a nice job creating feather texture and background foliage. (I wonder...does your bird talk, sing, or just chirp?) -- Gram C.

Gianna, just beautiful colors and very striking drawing. Really like it. Will you give it a name? -- Grandpa Frank

Gianna, such a really neat job drawing this owl! I especially like your drawings on its feet. Ery well thought out. Grandpa Frank -- Grandpa Frank

I spy with my little eye...a mother or father owl (with beautiful eyes and markings!) and two owlets, sitting in a nest. I like your owls, Gianna; they look happy! -- Gram C.

What an adorable deer, G.! The antlers are striking, I like the shading/coloring on the face, and the "technique" you used to create (form) the eyes. I'm always intrigued by your backgrounds and borders, too. Some of your paintings remind me of early Maud Lewis folk art--happy and beautiful. -- Gram C.

Gianna, what a beautiful drawing of kindergarten deer. Very well done! Great outlines and really good drawing of antlers. Also the outside drawings are Very well done. Great drawing! Grandpa Frank -- Grandpa Frank

Gianna, your bunny is adorable! I can tell you spent a lot of time on this painting; you included so much detail! I like your background "border," the slight tilt of her head, her sweet little expression, that "bubblegum" nose, and, of course, those polka dots! This little bunny can come visit me in my yard any time... -- Gram C.

Now that's a handsome soup pot, Gianna! I like the design, detail, and colors. Is that a vegetable soup in your pot? It looks good, too; I'd like your recipe, please! -- Gram C.

Gianna, what a really neat soup pot. You are really getting good in art. Very good drawing of a pot. -- Grandpa Frank

Gianna, pretty neat objects in space! Nice use of colors. Space, here we come# -- Grandpa Frank

I spy with my little eye...outer space, the sun, a UFO, a canine constellation, a spaceship, and many beautiful and colorful planets. Nice job, Gianna! -- Gram C.

Wow...yours is one beautiful (and colorful!) imagination, G. (I love the synergy!) -- Gram Chris

Another outstanding piece, Gianna! What a handsome flag; it's fit for a frame... -- Gram Chris

Your Moai figure is fabulous, Gianna (I really like the colors/coloring), and I think you are learning and doing amazing things in kindergarten! -- Gram Chris

Gianna, very cute painting and use of colors and of course, a really cute picture of you to cap off a Very beautiful self portrait. -- Grandpa Frank

Gianna, grandparents had to look up and define Moai! See, your teacher gives us homework??. After checking it out, you did a great job of drawing a large sandstone Figure from the Easter Islands. Good job on Outlines and color. -- Grandpa Frank

Gianna, I had to read up on Jason John flag. Wow, what a neat job of painting. Don't know if you mixed beeswax and resin, but your flag painting is beautiful. -- Grandpa Frank

What a fun drawing, Gianna—and it looks like you used paint, too. I like the rainbow colors and the detail you’ve added...different colored “socks,” lots of bling, and starbursts all around. Nice! -- Gram C.

Gi, very well done! Nice lines and drawing. Hope we see a lot more more art work. Great start?? -- Grandpa Frank

As beautiful as Charley Harper's, Nina, and your ladybugs look happy, too! (I think they must be in a parade, yes?) -- Gram C.

G, for your first drawing, that is the Prettiest Colored lady bug I have ever seen! Very nice Job! -- Grandpa Frank
