Symmetrical Flutter
FIRST GRADE
Paper on Canvas
With a series of quick and delicate hand gestures, our first grade students, use paint splatters into unique and graceful butterflies. No two are alike. Each butterfly carries the initials of its creator.
Building Blocks
SECOND GRADE
Acrylic Paint on Wood
Our class has created a work of art called Building Blocks. The dictionary defines ‘building blocks’ as essential elements on which a larger entity is based. Each one of us is a combination of our heritage, upbringing, and environment. At first glance, the artwork looks red, white, and blue. It represents us as citizens of the U.S.A. From a different angle, you will see all the countries our ancestors came from and the traditions we honor and observe. Approach the piece from another side and you will see our families’ names and the traits our families value the most. They shape who we are and what we stand for. Our traditions and values give us a strong foundation necessary to become responsible citizens.
