FIFTH GRADE . . . Crossing the Lawn!

Congratulations to all of my fifth grade artists! To celebrate the class of 2021 "Crossing the Lawn," we have an art exhibit in Panther Hall gallery that shows their favorite sketch pad drawings and their final painting project.

For their final paintings, students selected a piece of work by a famous artist that interested them, based on style and subject matter. Using their knowledge of drawing and color theory they learned in Lower School art, students created their own painting inspired by the work of their chosen artist.

Here are a few examples of our paintings. All of our work is on display in the gallery and can also be viewed in artsonia.com. Here is the link for the Ranney home page at artsonia.

    In my class, students are given the chance to explore different materials and fun new techniques as they develop their signature style. Some young artists love to draw with a pencil, some like to paint on canvas or create images in a digital format, while others prefer working with clay and molding three-dimensional forms. In my classroom, we use a variety of materials allowing all artists to experiment and figure out which type of art they like the best. At Ranney School, we place a strong emphasis on originality and celebrate artistic differences, always nurturing and encouraging the imagination of every student.
