Third Grade "Pair With A Flair" Flower Art
Each third grader worked on layering textures and
colors to make a pair of exquisitely beautiful and
large abstract flowers on two side-by-side canvases.
The hand-painted gallery-wrapped canvases are
sold together as one wall hanging. Legendary
painter Georgia O'Keeffe described the impact of
such a focused large-scale work: "I decided that if
I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could
not ignore its beauty." Surely no one can ignore the
beauty of these flower canvases!

Fifth Grade `Fanciful Forest' Wall Hanging
Remember the old saying about not seeing the
forest for the trees? In this instance, you'll want
to zoom in and focus on each individual tree! This
intricate framed wall hanging began with middle
school artists creating one-of-a-kind trees you will
never find in nature. The students hand-painted
colorful patterns on tree silhouettes, which are
arranged in a forest setting with a serenely painted
background.
