The beautiful artworks we got to make with our students found new homes tonight at our school silent auction! I know they'll bring as much joy to their new owners as they brought to all of us getting to create them together.

We tried hydro dipping in 4th grade and repurposed some instruments as part of an integrated unit on waves. These pieces will be available at our upcoming silent auction! #hydrodipping #recycleart #waves @LSEArts @cpsfinearts @CPSScience @donohoLSEArts @GuiseLSEArts @HelmLSEArts

And here is the gorgeous stained glass mosaic companion piece made by the 1st graders in @MarbakerLSEArts class. It has 9 planets and two constellations! Love getting to carry on such meaningful traditions with our students! @LSEArts @cpsfinearts @CPSScience @donohoLSEArts

[Lydia Clark Kisida @LClarkLSEarts]

1st graders studied Antoni Gaudi, stained glass, mosaic, transparent/translucent/opaque objects, and space in an integrated unit that led to the creation of this magnificent piece for our upcoming silent auction. @LSEArts @cpsfinearts @CPSScience @MarbakerLSEArts @donohoLSEArts

@SaraDiedrich @LSEArts @cpsfinearts @donohoLSEArts @KolLSEArts @LaceyLSEArts @SaraDiedrich thank you so much! 🥰

[Lydia Clark Kisida @LClarkLSEarts]

Our LSE 2nd grade artists did a most amazing job slipcasting and bubble glazing our silent auction dinnerware sets! I couldn't be more proud of their work and engagement! #slipcasting #artsintegration #statesofmatter @LSEArts @cpsfinearts @donohoLSEArts @KolLSEArts @LaceyLSEArts

[Lydia Clark Kisida @LClarkLSEarts]

I have wanted to teach slipcasting to elementary students since I wrote a lesson about it during my undergrad, and I finally got to realize that dream! #slipcasting #artsintegration #statesofmatter @cpsbest @cpsscience @LSEArts @donohoLSEArts @LaceyLSEArts @KolLSEArts

[Lydia Clark Kisida @LClarkLSEarts]

Today we delivered 24 beautiful bouquets of flowers, made by our 2nd & 4th graders out of painted recycled containers & construction paper to the Veterans' Hospital.
Thank you, Veterans!
