Our 1st graders celebrated creativity with their “Dot” project! 🎨They explored line, pattern, and watercolor to make their dots stand out and “make their mark.” Inspired by The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.

Our students kicked off the year by creating Polaroid-style “snapshots” of their identities. Each one shows a unique part of who they are. Together they form a giant school-wide display celebrating creativity and community! #MannSchool#OakPark97
4th graders tackled grid drawing/painting, one box at a time! ✏️📏 They brought their designs to life with bold color schemes like Complementary & Monochromatic, creating high-contrast, vibrant art! #Art#MannSchool#OakPark97
2nd graders drew inspiration from Henri Matisse & Reggie Laurent to create bold, colorful designs! ✂️ Using shapes & space, they crafted vibrant compositions filled with movement, balance, and energy. #MannSchool#OakPark97#Art
3rd graders channeled Keith Haring’s energy into their own bold creations! Using simplified figures, they captured movement, emotion, and storytelling. Every piece radiates personality and style! #KeithHaring#MannSchool#OakPark97
5th graders explored surrealism & self-expression inspired by René Magritte's The False Mirror. They studied their own eyes, focusing on proportion & realism, then added a surreal or personal element in the iris. #MannSchool#OakPark97#Surrealism#SelfExpression#Art
2nd graders explored landscapes, learning about foreground, middleground, background, and horizon lines. From robots & donuts to realistic scenes, they brought imaginative ideas to life using pencils, paints, and colored pencils! #MannSchool#OakPark97#Art
Inspired by The Dot, Ish and Sky Color, 1st graders explored watercolor techniques like wet-on-wet, salt, and oil pastel resist. They added decorative patterns with black pens to make each dot uniquely theirs! #MannSchool#OakPark97#Art
Inspired by Mixed by Arree Chung, kindergartners created their own colorful scenes! They learned about primary and secondary colors and explored how mixing creates new hues. A lesson in diversity and creativity! #MannSchool#OakPark97#Art
Kindergarteners explored line with oil pastels and tempera resist to create colorful monsters! We learned about expression and emotion, then added details like arms and accessories with construction paper. Each monster is full of personality! 🖍️🎨 #MannSchool#OakPark97#Art
