This blog has been a labor of love over the past few years, and I've loved sharing our school's art with you. I'm no longer going to use this page to showcase the art from our school, but will instead use Instagram to share everything we're working on. Please continue to follow the El Sol artroom on Instagram!

Underground Drawings
Students discussed what sort of animals and insects create tunnels and chambers underground. They looked at different books that illustrate the tunnels underground. Then students created their own unique and inventive tunnels and chambers, complete with beds, kitchens, even chambers with disco balls for dance parties!
Self-Portrait Comparisons
Starry Night Paintings
Kindergarten artists were introduced to the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most famous artists of all time. They discovered that he was one of the inventors of impressionism. Van Gogh like the lines his paint brush would make in thick paint, and he painted this way in most of his artwork. They looked at his most famous painting, "Starry Night", and painted their own version of starry night, by using short brushstrokes, just like Van Gogh.
Blue Dog
Third Grade students
studied artist George Rodrigue, who lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. Rodrigue
is famous for his paintings of “Blue Dog.” Students discovered that Rodrigue’s
“Blue Dog” isn’t always blue. Sometimes Rodrigue paints his dog different
colors with different backgrounds to symbolize the emotions and events in the United States .
Students drew and painted
their own version of Blue Dog, complete with a story explaining the setting of
their painting.

Bubble wrap prints
First Grade students used
bubble wrap to print. They painted bubble wrap with blue tempera paint and then
