In class we looked at the artwork of Georgia O'Keeffe and I was inspired to draw a flower. We also looked at the old watercolors of Mary Delaney with all their details. We got an artificial flower that was the same kind as the one painted by Mary Delaney. These artists inspired me to do my pink flower drawing.

My artwork helps me express how I feel about different things, like winter. Even though winter is cold, there is still some warmth to it. This is my first profile self-portrait it has inspired me to want to create more art and open my heart to the world.

For my superhero collage, I wanted to show a surfer on the beach. I like the beach a lot, and was recently in the Dominican Republic.

I made trees. I painted blue and red. I made snow too. I like painting. I like art.

Plants give off oxygen so we can breathe better. Also, different plants are used as decoration. In my drawing I used the complementary colors purple and yellow. They are opposite hues on the color wheel. I believe using these two colors helps my flower stand out and "grab" the viewers' attention.

The concept behind my artwork was that we should appreciate the little things with the people we love. JUST looking at the stars at night with someone is quality time. You don’t have your loved ones forever, so even the little things matter. I’ve always liked looking at the stars at night, lying on the grass with someone I love. I am trying to show that quality time with loved ones means a lot.

I was inspired to create this work of art after learning about winter holidays in Social Studies. It reminds me of a snowy, cold day in the winter. I used white paint for the snow and various materials to create the shape of the house.

When you are leaf-rubbing you have to hold the stem or the leaf will move and mess up your work. We used watercolors in primary colors to paint on the leaf prints. The secondary colors made the leaves look realistic. We then cut the leaves and used colored paper for the background. I made a self-portrait and then glued it all together. I depicted myself happily jumping on the leaves.

I was trying to make the leaves colorful and beautiful. I really enjoyed leaf rubbing. I also enjoyed mixing the colors and I love painting. The best part of this lesson is when I rub the leaves. I hope we do this again next year when I am in the fifth grade.

I was inspired by fall to create this painting. Fall is the season when different colored leaves fall to the ground. This particular painting is based on leaves from trees on a farm when the sun is setting. I hope people all over the world can look at my painting and understand what Fall means to me. I want people to feel like they are actually in the painting. Also, falling leaves signal that the season is coming to an end and winter is about to begin. Next year, the cycle will start all over again.

Hussein is inspired to create patterns for many of our art projects. He always looks for a way to make an image his own while following the big ideas of the project. This assignment was to draw flowers from observation. You can see how Hussein took the image of the flowers he closely observed, and created a repeating pattern.

This painting was inspired by my mood. I felt peaceful and wanted to create a colorful scene of nature.

We were inspired by the artist Georgia O'Keefe and her paintings of flowers. Using the colored chalk was lots of fun and also inspired us.

I wanted to show that a forest can be bright and colorful, but dark and gloomy at the same time.

I was inspired by Gustav Klimt's "Tree of Life." While drawing I decided to add organic shapes to complete my tree. Birds fly above, flowers bloom below and gold details help the tree glow.

I love to see the trees lit up. I like catching snowflakes on my tongue. I like to go sledding. These are my favorite things about winter.

For this artwork we mixed our own colors and used printmaking tools to create an abstract design. It reminds me of tire marks with splatters of color.

It Snows in winter. The trees have no leaves. I used straight lines and red paint. Red is my favorite color.

When my class went to the Botanic Garden we touched plants and flowers. I saw one very big leaf and one very big tree. I saw white flowers and inside the white flowers there was pink. I mixed red, purple, blue and I made dots to show the flowers. I wanted to paint what I saw because when I went to the Botanic Garden I was happy.

I was inspired to do this work during the winter months. I created this painting using marbles. It reminds me of a snowstorm.
