Thanks to all of my thursday students for your participation today!  It was a lot of fun!

Student artwork

Posting 60 plus pictures of each and every one of my art students each month on my blog is a challenge and time consuming.  To solve this "problem", I will be featuring two days of classes each month.   This month I will be featuring the artwork of Wednesday and Thursday classes.  October, I will be featuring artwork from the Friday and Saturday classes.  I hope this works for everyone.  As always, I am open to suggestions if you have any better options.  I will look into doing a slideshow and see if that works for me as well, until then, I will do it this way.  Thanks!  Everyone has done an amazing job thus far in art class.  I am so proud to post them all on my blog.  =)

Featuring Wednesday Art Classes!

Here are my Wednesday class's artwork that they worked on today. We worked on Still Life art.   I am so proud of my students for looking at different objects on the table, and drawing what they see! 

They did great! 

Great job Wednesday Students!  keep up the good work!  --Mrs. Calvert


Feel free to leave a comment, I am sure the kids would love it!  Thanks!

More Summer Art done by my students this summer on their own

My computer "lost" some of my pictures.  I so happy to report, a friend of mine showed me how to recover them!  I am thrilled!  So, I thought I would show you 3 pictures from my students summer art homework that I found!  I also lost the pictures of my kids 1st day of school, so I am happy to have those recovered as well! 

Regarding the summer artwork done by the kids, I was so blessed to have them show me their work.  Anytime my art students want to show me artwork that they have done at home, I would be thrilled to see it.  Thank you!
