Congratulations to all fifth grade artists! To celebrate the class of 2023 we have an art exhibit in Panther Hall gallery showing off our final art project. Our paintings were inspired by the art and style of our favorite artist and each canvas is accompanied by our thoughts on what creativity means to us.

"Creativity is to think above and beyond, 
to soar with the stars... 
to take something ordinary and make a beautiful masterpiece with it. "
- Grace 

"Creativity is daydreaming of your own world. "
Brandon

"Creativity when I play basketball means making strategies. "
- Ankush 

"Creativity means you are free to express yourself while having fun. 
It is using your imagination and anything is possible! "
- Colette

"Creativity means that you can be free and be who you are. No one can judge you. 
You do what you want, not what someone else wants. You get to have your own imagination."
- Hamin 

"I get most creative when I have a piece of paper and a pencil. 
With them, you can draw whatever you want. I also find when reading something interesting, 
it makes me be creative in my head and I can picture what is happening."
- Lucia 

"Creativity means you can bend the rules and do whatever you want, and that's okay. 
...it means to accept all of the imperfections, 
the quirkiness and the curves."
-Emilia
