Arianna's Drawing Space!

Not outer space, but the space of what is near to far away.

Great job, Arianna!

3-D Designs

The fourth grade lesson is making designs that look 3-D. 

Emmitt begins by drawing vertical lines that do not intersect on his paper.

                            Next a line is drawn through the center area, which intersects all of the vertical lines.

Then the students used parallel curvy lines to create a round form. These lines are called cross contour lines.

In the above picture the cross contour lines that are above the intersecting horizontal line go in an upward curve.  Under the line the curves go downward. This makes the middle section pop forward.

                                             

  

Miss Alyokhin carefully draws her cross contour lines.

Next comes the color......................

The students used bright colors on the left and the right on each section (see picture)and as the painted towards the middle  they thinned the color to lighten it. White the brightest color in existence was left unpainted in the middle. This was supposed to create a sense of round form.







Zoey starts to add her colors.

Check out these students hard at work!

Wow!

Please, watch Caleb's tutorial!

Kindergarten Works Together

The kindegarten students got into groups. Each group had to draw a one branch with leaves. The students used oil pastels to draw the subjects and then they watched the resist method as they painted over their drawing with beautiful colors.

Empty Bowl Project

Mrs. Wilcox, our school's guidance counselor, the fifth grade teachers, and the fifth graders are using their creativeness to decorate bowls which will be used to raise money for the poor. OTES will host a supper before Christmas and the bowls will be exhibited then and for sale. Since the fifth graders are involved in an art lesson that involves drawing ancient Egyptian figures, they will be using ancient Egyptian patterns and subjects to decorate their bowls. They just started, but so far, so great!

While Anna smooths the edges of her green ware bowl, Isabel draws her grid for her Egyptian figure.

Kylii carves Egyptian designs to decorate the bowls. Ben, James, and Nate are using their amazing talent that will blow you away at the Empty Bowl Supper.

 Landscaping in the OTES Garden

The third grade students are getting their tools to start work in the OTES garden.

Everyone is pitching in to make the garden ready for next spring!

David and Joey are working hard to put a thick layer of mulch on the flower bed.

Before Cody and his step dad, Dave, build the walls for the raised bed, the boys dig out the plants that are in the way.

Laura is weeding around the area where Cody and Dave will build  the walls for the raised bed. Thanks everyone!
