....sure does make for some super rad black and white art! This is the beginning stage of 2nd grade winter cardinal portraits. These will eventually turn into aspen trees.. stay tuned!

....primary and secondary colors these days! Also texture. (notice that background, texture rubbings y'all) These pumpkin patch portraits are just the cutest.. I love seeing the different personalities of their making styles - some pumpkin patches are definitely more patchy than others! :) Love them!

The 12"x 12" piece for the Due E.A.S.T. show; well done my 4th and 5th graders, well done! This piece represents some of the large scale work that will be showcased at our Art + Music = an Ortega Happening on Saturday, November 14th!
