Some “sweet” art work created by our @aubrey_mes artists is showcased at our favorite local froyo shop, Pooky’s! It’s a fundraiser too! Head over to see some art that will make you drool and then satiate that craving with something Pooky-licious through 5/21! @aubreyisd

@aubreyisd @aubreyisdchoir Way to go!!!

I love all of the unique pieces our artists made expressing themselves and their ideas as they explored 3-d form with clay. ❤️😍🥰👩🏼‍🎨 @aubrey_mes @aubreyisd

After being taught clay techniques, along with practice & planning time, students had 2x their art class time for one period to create their design, problem solve, and execute their idea.
100% engagement-hinking/working hard, & having fun
I ❤️ messy hands! @aubreyisd @aubrey_mes

These glee-filled @aubrey_mes artists painted their shoe-stamped, salt dough texture pendants with my favorite “faux-ceramic glaze” paint. 🤩 They picked from a variety of beads to add; “gold” was unanimously the favorite! What a fine crew of proud jewelry makers! @aubreyisd

2nd grade is mixing up tints and shades (value) in order to create implied form. 👨‍🎨 @aubrey_mes @aubreyisd #elementaryart

I teach and create with 12 classes each day and it ends with the sweetest and “littlest hands” of them all. The joy and excitement of creating, exploring and making discoveries is never lost on these guys. ❤️ Here they are exploring texture:

These artists learned that weaving is one of the oldest art forms and how different cultures from around the world have used weaving. Mrs. O shared some of her original weavings as well as work from some of her favorite weavers of today! @aubrey_mes #inspiringhope @aubreyisd

[Monaco Art Studio @MonacoArtStudio]

Weaver fever is spreading amongst @aubrey_mes. Some efficient weavers are learning more difficult techniques and larger looms. Friday, I had a stampede of little weavers come to me AT DISMISSAL for yarn to use over the weekend. ❤️ #inspiringhope @aubreyisd

5th grade is incorporating fiber in their artwork after seeing contemporary artist Victoria Villasana’s embroidered photos of influential people (photos 3&4). They’re having fun while learning basic stitching techniques! @aubrey_mes @aubreyisd #inspiringhope

More expressive abstraction in progress at @aubrey_mes! This was a very therapeutic time for all! #inspiringhope #aubreyproud @aubreyisd

2nd grade just completed truly remarkable backgrounds for an upcoming special feature! They learned how to create abstract art, allowing their emotions to speak through their work. Each of these include collage, mark-making and paint! #inspiringhope @aubrey_mes @aubreyisd

Save the date! We’re having an art show April 11, from 5:30-7pm. It’s a come and go event! @aubrey_mes

5th grade artists studied the work of Kimmy Cantrell. Students were challenged to design a face with asymmetrical features. We are continuing color studies, so their piece also had to show an evident understanding of complementary colors. #inspiringhope @aubrey_mes @aubreyisd

1st grade @aubrey_mes artists learned about Alma Woodsey Thomas and created backgrounds for future work inspired by her artwork and process. #inpiringhope @aubreyisd #almawoodseythomas

4th grade @aubrey_mes artists have been color mixing machines as they create color wheels. The wheels are currently being transformed into something new that each artist individually dreams up! I can’t wait to share all of their creativity! #inspiringhope @aubreyisd #aubreyproud

Lots of Valentine’s Day joy was created and shared in grades 1 and 2 art, today. 😍♥️🧡💛💚💙💜#inspiringhope @aubrey_mes @aubreyisd #aubreyproud
