THE GALLERY

1 Finley, Grade 8. Middle School students combined realism and fiction (and, in this case, a love of oranges and collage) into portraits made with a grid technique.

2 Ellia, Kindergarten. Inspired by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, students made their own patterned paintings.

3 Dasch, Petra, and Sanjay, Grade 5. Students explored pop art and its historical significance, examining Andy Warhol’s soup-can artwork to gain inspiration for their own variations.

4 Milo, Grade 8. A mixed-media shadow box created in the printmakingcollage class.

5 Wenyin, Grade 1. This student imagined “a pink star on earth” when making felt art. The class was studying Alma Thomas, whose art responds to nature and the cosmos.

6 Aiden, Grade 2. The second grade engineered its own combination animals in papier-mâché. This is a piranhascorpion-spider.
