This Möbius strip of a companion kept close while mom recovered from a nasty stomach flu. Feeling much better now, and at least we have a little spring break left to enjoy. ☺️

First grade art investigators. What more can we find when we slow down and look more deeply? #earlychildhood #elementaryart @campbellaps.bsky.social @campbellturtles.bsky.social @apsva.us

Springtime means investigation of nature. Gr 3 artists are looking deeply to study and draw collected shells, stones, and bones. Observing those details and shadows are key. #scientificillustration #elementaryart @campbellaps.bsky.social @campbellturtles.bsky.social @apsva.us

Artists use magnifying glasses to see small details of their shells while drawing from observation.

Gr 2 artist/architects designed and cardboard-stamped buildings with exciting details. Oil pastel watercolor resist techniques this week give these artworks their beautiful textures. #printmaking #stamping #elementaryart #mixedmedia @campbellaps.bsky.social @campbellturtles.bsky.social @apsva.us

Gr 3 artists explored how different book illustrators created monsters and imaginary creatures, and imagined their own. Artists created marker prints, and wrote a short origin story about their creatures. #artandwriting #printmaking #elementaryart @apsva.us @campbellaps.bsky.social

3rd grade artist’s imaginary creature print with writing: “Once upon a time their was a big alien-ship that landed on Earth the alienship came from Htrae it crushed a house and landed in the kids yard and went to jail and escaped and broke the wall and robbed my house.”

3rd grade artist’s imaginary creature print and writing: “Once upon a nothingness, a tiny light emerged. From that light came something new, and that was life. New things came to be, including the little pigcorn.”

3rd grade artist’s imaginary creature print and writing: “Once upon a time there was a Monster named David. David was really big. He lived on Mars. He came to Earth. David was bigger than Earth so he went to Jupiter. Jupiter was the right size, but Jupiter is gas. Now he lives on nothing.”

3rd grade artist’s imaginary creature print and writing: “The monster is so kind. He is scairy but he cute. His name is dark. I meet him under my bed.”

Gr 1 artists are wrapping up pet portraits in different media: drawing/painting and collagraph printmaking, and we’ve had so much fun. #earlychildhood #elementaryart #joyfulartists @campbellaps.bsky.social @campbellturtles.bsky.social @apsva.us

The print is a mirror image of the artist’s collagraph plate.
