Veterans Day at Skano

This bulletin board says it all!

5th Grade Pagodas at Tesago

 This challenging project had students focusing on many concepts: symmetry, Asian architecture, foreground, middle ground, background, use of space, and color.  They worked very hard to get their work completed, and did a wonderful job! 





Emus Spotted at Tesago!



3rd graders had a great time creating visual texture in these emu portraits. We also focused on color mixing and blending using oil pastels.  They all have distinct personalities, and have made everyone smile at Tesago!

5th Gyotaku at Tesago



We could have used real fish to experiment with this fun Japanese printing process, but we opted for rubber fish instead.  Abstract background designs allowed the sea creatures to really pop!



3rd Grade Tesago artists experiment with...

 ...the wet-on-wet watercolor technique!   Wet paper and a wet brush produced beautifully blended background colors, and lots of ooohs and aahhhs!


Second Grade Paintings at Tesago



 These colorful creations are based on the landscape paintings of Dutch artist Tom Schulten.  We focused on color, geometric shapes, gaining control of the paint brush, and adding details to our work. Love these!!
