Grade 1 students and parents came together to create woodland elements for two abstract landscapes, offered together as a diptych entitled "We See A World".

This class offering is all about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees! Grade 2 wants to help beautify your yard or garden and support native wildlife. The package features a dogwood tree, oak leaf hydrangea, about 35 hand-painted seed packets with seeds, bird feeder, birdhouse, hummingbird feeder, soil, mulch, compost...with labor included to install everything! Also included is a beautifully colorful, professionally printed poster of 22 Native Birds of Georgia - all hand-drawn by all 22 second-graders!

This is a collage made of 18 paintings created by the grade 3 class. The shapes are largely cut around the movement of their brushstrokes. They were given a palette of 10 colors to work from. Some of them mixed new colors from those, some used the colors I gave them. Have you ever heard of the 9-year change? At this age, children are actualizing their individuality. Social dynamics get dicey, but they're each changing at their own pace. This piece is about that. Pulling themselves out of the amorphous group into individual personalities, shapes, colors, directions?

We Are Many. We Are One.
