Winter art is my favorite season! ❄️☃️ lots of snowmen and snowflakes to take home this week 💙 #d109pride

4th grade is done with their figurative unit! We started with an intro to life drawing and learning poses before translating those idea into sculpture. Definitely a labor or love for the amount time put in! #d109pride

What better way to post about the new school year than with Kindergarten art! Truly my heart is 💖🥰 These students were engaged in some artistic problems as they created portraits. Special appearance by godzilla at the end 😂 #d109pride @LyleDragons @ISD109

@MsFarnesi) for the Art Expo this Thursday! This was our first joint show with Creative Expressions winners and Jr. High's AMAZING Art 3. Shoutout to @Artsonia for always providing great gifts for our students @ISD109

[Lauren Martinkus @ms_mARTinkus]

Introduced grid drawing to 4th grade & they started a collaborative mystery drawing. Each 1-inch square is numbered and students need to draw it proportionally onto a 3-inch square...the secret is using FRACTIONS 🤓 #d109pride @WilkinsISD109 @ISD109

[Lauren Martinkus @ms_mARTinkus]

@ReneeDouglas23 @ISD109 @BVGoBobcats I love your prompt for this with the drawing underneath!

Loving all this love from 2nd grade ❤️ @LyleDragons @ISD109 #d109pride

But studios aren't only for art-making, it should be a place that inspires you and let's you be creative. Some students made music studios with recording booths, libraries, theaters, game rooms or dream bedrooms.

[Lauren Martinkus @ms_mARTinkus]

This lesson was developed last year while virtual. It was fun to teach this in person & give individual advice to students or let them work things out on their own. Based on Matisse's "The Red Studio" students created their own studio spaces @ISD109 @LyleDragons #d109pride
