Zentangle Landscapes
Third and fourth graders learned about the art of Zentangles. We talked about how we can be in a calm, focused, peaceful state while creating our artwork. Artists drew simple landscapes, then used different patterns to fill the sections.

Monet Waterlilies
Fifth and sixth grade artists painted Waterlilies in the style of Monet. Did you know that when Monet painted his waterlily paintings people thought that his eyesight was failing and didn't see the artistic value of these beautiful paintings? We will display our waterlily paintings on a large wall to capture the feel of Monet's large-scale paintings.
