Students from all over the district presented their artwork at the annual K-12 Fine Arts Festival held at Ewell elementary this year. I was very proud to hand pick several amazing artists from Switzer to represent our school. It was great to see students and families supporting the arts on opening night and other times throughout the week. Here are some photos of Switzer students next to their creations.

In honor of March is Reading month, second graders created these cool pianos with a colorful patterned background. We used the contrasting colors of black and white to create our wavy pianos and make them stand out from the background.

To start our winter cardinal compositions, The second graders first created a tree branch with oil pastels and then painted their backgrounds using only the cool colors blue and violet. We then cut our cardinals out of red construction paper, added details with black markers, and glued them to the branches. Our last step was adding snow with white paint.
We used clay circles to create these awesome texture owls. After students cut their clay into a circle, they folded in the wings and the head. We used extra clay to create a beak and large, round eyes. We also used a variety of fun, everyday objects for our texture tools such as plastic forks, popsicle sticks, and buttons. After the owls were bisque fired in the kiln, students used oil pastels and a tempera wash to make the owls colorful.
Students used a variety of lines to create these bold works of art. Each line was painted with black emphasize the different types of lines. The shapes that were created by the lines were painted in with bold and bright colors.
Second graders had lots of fun creating patterns with bright colored paper to create their own set of witches legs. We also used black marker and white oil pastels to add details to the skirt, shoes, and background.
