Azure Class

Wiggles and Giggles! is a joyful collaborative collage created by the Azure classroom toddlers. Radiating movement, individuality, and community spirit, the piece is inspired by the bold lines, vibrant colors, and celebratory energy of Keith Haring, using simplified figures and dynamic composition to capture the essence of childhood.

The project began with a shared experience: the children worked side by side to transform a blank surface into a vibrant blue field with broad, expressive strokes. Candid photos of the children at recess-running, twirling, jumping, and laughing-were then transformed into simplified silhouettes that preserved their unique gestures and play styles.

Each child selected a color that resonated with them to paint their own silhouette. These bold figures were arranged against the blue backdrop, with a vivid magenta floor added to ground the composition and heighten the contrast and sense of motion. The final scene shows the children reaching, dancing, balancing, and exploring-reflecting their joyful winter months in the movement room, filled with music and imaginative play.

Through collaboration, color, and scale, Wiggles and Giggles! celebrates the lively spirit of the Azure community and the boundless energy of toddlerhood.

Swallowtail Class

Inspired by a butterfly card, the Swallowtails classroom worked together to design a garden that reflects the sense of home and community both children and adults feel when they enter our classroom.

To begin, the children created an impressionistic garden background by moving different shades of green, blue, and white paint beneath a layer of plastic wrap using their hands. This process allowed them to explore color and movement while blending the paints together. A ball of foil was then dabbed over the surface to spread the paint further and add texture to the garden scene.

Next, the children painted papers in three different shades of yellow, which were later used to punch out butterfly shapes. They carefully added touches of black to the butterflies to bring them to life. Additional papers were painted in shades of green and cut into circular leaves. Cotton swabs were used to create colorful flowers throughout the garden, creating floral details.

Finally, all of the cutouts were collaged onto the painted background. The result is a warm and vibrant masterpiece that beautifully represents our classroom community and the creativity of the Swallowtails children.

Birch Class

Isaiah Zagar, the artist behind Philly's Magic Gardens, is the inspiration for this mosaic. The Birch Tree class painted paper and cut it into small shapes to make the "tiles". Then they glued each one together to form the image of the eagle. This piece is a wonderful tribute to two iconic Philadelphia legends, Isaiah himself and the Birds!

Cherry Class

The Cherry Tree class worked together to recreate a classic scene from Eric Carle's book, Slowly, Slowly, Slowly.they started by painting the background with acrylic paint. Just like Eric Carle, the students painted tissue paper and used tools like forks and paint scrapers to create different textures for the tree and the animals. The kindergarteners designed the leaves, and used a Cricut to cut them out. The final, small details were added with colored pencils and paint pens to bring this piece to life!

Holly Class

This landscape was inspired by Kimmy Cantrell's cardboard artworks. The older students used cardboard cutters to cut out the shape of the houses and the background layers. Everyone worked together to paint the cardboard trees, houses, and the river. The students used paint pens to add finishing touches to bring to life their imagining of Boathouse Row!

Magnolia Class

In honor of Mary Blair's work on It's a Small World at Disneyland, the Magnolia Tree class built a town in her style. Their colorful buildings were made with tissue paper and acrylic paint. The students used a Gelli plate to layer different colors on top of each other to create intricate patterns and designs. They cut out simple shapes from the painted tissue paper and used those shapes to make their mini castles. Once all the castles were glued together, the project was complete!

Maple Class

Willow Class

The Willow Tree friends worked together to create an ode to Septa in the style of Mizuki Goto. Each piece was carefully cut out and painted with acrylics. The students then pieced each mode of transportation back together, just like a puzzle.

Elm Class - Lower Elementary

Kindergarten Class of 2026

This piece, inspired by illustrator Asahi Nagata, combines all the techniques used in past auction art works. Each planet was created with different mediums and materials, like spackle, salt, sand, and more. There are 27 silver stars, one for each kindergartner, and the students used real silver leaf to make them. They loved adding the glitter in the background to give our galaxy a whimsical touch!
