ART From Ally

As an art teacher I get many gifts from students at the end of the year from candles to chocolate to gift cards and I appreciate all of them. This year one of my delightful second grade students created this framed zentangled ART. From one artist to another - thank you Ally. Keep making art all summer - I know you will!

People's Choice WInners

Winners of the People's Choice awards from the district art show are on display in the Lisle Library for the month of April. People who attended the art show voted for their favorite piece of art from each grade level 1st through 12th grade. Here are the winners from grades 1st through 8th. High school winners will be added later in April.

Here is wonderful little clay mouse with his cheese.

Art Show

On Friday, March 20th & Saturday, March 21st, Lisle Senior High School hosted the 7th annual district wide art show. The show was on display in the commons in conjunction with the high school spring musical. The show displayed approximately 200 selected works of art from grades 1st through 12. Visitors to the show voted for a “People’s Choice” award. The first grade winner is titled "Painted Owl". The second grade winner is titled "Shaded Apples".

All participating artists will receive a participants certificate with their matted artwork and will be recognized at the May 18th board meeting. Their art will be on display in the Lisle Library during the month of April and in the board room during the month of May.

Snowmen!

First graders used Model Magic clay to create these wonderful snowmen faces. 

Windy Hat Snowmen

First graders drew a scarf to begin their windy hat snowman. Then they added white paint, a flying away hat, buttons and a swirl of glitter.

It's windy out there!

Printed Poinsettias

Second graders created beautiful printed poinsettias before the holidays and here's how they did it. First they took soft chalk pastel and created an abstract colored background using the side of the chalk and then blended it with a tissue.

Next they used a brush and tempera paint to paint a few circles then used leaf shaped sponges to print their leaves here...

and here.

Overlapping, good composition and many colors were used to complete these beautiful pieces.
