| Nate W. decided to add a city to the background, and to make his sky a complimentary color to the blue buildings. It reminds me so much of an amazing adobe village painting he did in the first grade. I love his detail work! |
Prescott's 4th grade artists are impressing me with their drafting skills. Perspective is a challenging concept for elementary students, but they are jumping right in as we learn about both one and two-point techniques. This group of students is known for asking me, "Can we do it this way?" I love how they are not afraid to come up with their own spin on the project. It shows they are ready for a challenge. After practicing a street scene with one-point perspective, they will be designing tree houses using two-point perspective. They are drawing in pencil, tracing with sharpie markers, and then painting with watercolors. This paint is a challenge in itself, but I see them turning mistakes into new ideas every day. Daniel R. made his sky "too dark" and was frustrated, but I then watched him play around with the paint until he had transformed his sky into a very creative thunderstorm. Ermuun conquered the technique right away, and spent an entire week working in silent concentration. As usual, I am proud of them!

| Ermuun caught on right away. I like his cubist sky. |

| Felipe's work has improved so much this year that each project he does amazes me! |
