Grade 3
I drew Koi Fish. I made one in the middle and two that don’t fit on the paper. This is called bleed. Mrs. Merkle showed us a picture of Koi Fish and our class learned to draw only part of the fish near the edge of the paper to make it look like the fish are swimming away. I drew curvy lines to make the water and then I used red and orange for the fish so they would stand out. We had to color each section so the same colors were not touching. I really liked making this picture. -Alex Deleon-Diaz
Walt Disney is my role model because he is very artistic and fun. He created Mickey Mouse and all kinds of other Disney characters. Walt Disney is very inspiring to me because he is very artistic. -Natalie Tran
My art is about friendship. I drew my friends and I at the park with flowers on the border edge. I chose the idea of friendship because everyone needs people to have fun with, trust, and depend on in life. -Willow Mehan
My Still life is called “Dinner’s Served.” I used tempera paint and a palette to add color. I went out of the lines a little bit, but I solved the problem by making the shape a little bigger. I like that my still life looks realistic. -Savannah Waltson
This is my Hawaiian treehouse. It is in Hawaii. I love Hawaii. I like the beach. It is up in the palm trees. -Riley Loor
"Domestic Monument-- A Monument to My Mom" by Benjamin Dawson, West Towson Elementary School, Grade 3
This was actually an accident artwork. I was trying to use shapes and colors and thinking about darkness and light. -Walid Bouhafid
I made a drawing of a saber tooth tiger. I learned about Romero Britto, and I used marker to color. The hardest part was probably making the background of the patterns. I am happy with how it turned out. It is titled, “Saber Tooth Patterns”. -Edan Fielding
I made a drawing of a pig and other designs. I learned about Romero Britto and his Pop Art. I liked how he used popular images in his work. I am happy with the way it turned out. -Sean Harris
Grade 4
"They Are Among Us" by Jaydon Thomas, Deer Park Elementary School, Grade 4
The art project was to draw a landscape to show perspective. I drew a tree and a mushroom getting smaller in the background to show perspective. I added a ferret with shading and a bowtie to be funny and make my artwork be different and stand out. -Mia Jewel
I chose the objects that I did because all of them were something I enjoyed and find relaxing, or they represented places I like. Also, the items were all in a nook in a corner where I spend a lot of time. Whether it is schoolwork, art projects, or reading, I like to spend time there. I used mostly colored pencils for their fine tips which I find easy to work with. There was also a variety of colors I could choose from so it seemed like a fit. -Elise Baker
I made "My Hobbies" because those are the things I like to do. The squishmallows (the cat and the owl) are there to represent that I like to play with my stuffies. The paint set is there to represent that I LOVE art and drawing, I go CRAZY when I'm drawing and I spat down ideas I have. The yarn is there to represent that I like to knit with my mom. (I am making a scarf right now) The materials I used are: 1. Watercolors (for the background) 2. Color pencils (for filling in the drawing) 3. Sharpie (for outlining) 4. pencil (for sketching) The most important thing of all? That you HAVE FUN!!! :) -Tiffany Chen
I chose these items because they are special, colorful, they were given to me, and I painted one. The materials I used were pens to make the colors stand out, plus oil pastels and colored pencils to add more color. My Nintendo switch’s controllers were gray, but I changed them to red and blue. -Russell Robertson
"Chicken Run/Wallace & Gromit/Flushed Away DVD Cover" by Christian Candeloro, Sandy Plains Elementary School, Grade 4
My artwork is a cupcake design for the Healthy Hive community organization. I picked the Healthy Hive as my community organization because I am scared of bees and wanted to see what else they do other then just stinging you. My cupcake represents the Healthy Hive because of the wrapper design and the things on top. On top of the cupcake, there is a honey cone with leaves, flowers, and bees as sprinkles. -Peyton Layte
"My Poster: We Can Change the World Hand in Hand" by Reagan Gilberg, West Towson Elementary School, Grade 4
My Warrior is my nanny and my mom because they are truthful. I trust them very much, and also my teachers like you. The lines represent respect and the colors. -Avery Gibson
I made this landscape after seeing jungle art by Henri Rousseau. I used marker and worked on the foreground, middle ground and background. I added a stream in the middle ground. I feel good about this artwork. -Josie Griffin
My important person is my Coach Frank from Lacrosse. I picked my Coach because I think he is real nice and I learned how to play lacrosse from him. He always shows me how to get better and explains drills to me to help me understand the game. My vessel shows that Coach Frank is fun and shows that you have to always try something you love to play. Also he is smiling because playing lacrosse makes him happy. -Zeke Dennison
Grade 5
I chose Muhammad Ali because he is my role model. He inspires me to work hard for what I want. Ali loved the sport of boxing and I do too because of him I want to become a boxer. He had speed, power and was a great man. -Chiagozie Ikejiofor
My art project was to create a robot friend for myself. I made one with lots of buttons and robotic parts. My robot is scary but also kind. -Gotti Hicks
I wanted to be unique from my classmates and chose to draw a frog. I drew the frog first. Then, I drew lines inside of the frog then I fill it in with different colors to make it stand out more. The blue represents the sky, the green represents the frog's color and the grass, the orange represents leaves and the grey represents the rocks. -Sophia Maramag
I learned about abstract art using shapes and color. I wanted to make more than one, so I made four. Two with cool colors and two with warm colors. My artwork looks like a quilt. It was fun to make abstract art on the computer. -Benjamin Adamski
I learned that mosaic art is made with smaller pieces that make up bigger pictures. I used Wixie to give the illusion of small tiles put together to make the image of a dolphin in the ocean. I even added some bubbles for detail. -Olivia Roasa
I love art because it makes me calm, I get to discover what I like and what I can create. -Bianca Martin
I love art because since I was 4, I drew and practiced a lot and a lot of my art. I got better and better and I watched tutorials until I was great! -Quinn Elliott
I made this poster because sometimes I feel like people think men are stronger or better than women, and I don’t think that’s right. I think that women can be equally as strong or smart. I love movies and books and anything that is girl empowering, and I like to do or make things that are girl empowering, too. -Lily Ennis
For my artwork, "Hour of Relaxation" I used two types of materials: fine tipped markers and colored pencils. I used the markers for the backdrop and the shadows, and I used the colored pencils for the table, table cloth, and the objects. I titled my artwork, "Hour of Relaxation" because that is what I would enjoy for an hour of relaxation. I chose to do a nice coffee table with some relaxing elements because that seemed most eye catching to me. -Isabella Kelsey
I drew a memory of me riding a horse on my birthday at the farm! I went to the farm with my mom, dad and baby brother. The patterns I added around the border are trees and leaves. I drew my picture and used Wixie for the border. -Heidi Argueta
I drew a memory of me and my sister fighting to take a picture of my baby brother. I added soccer balls, lines, spirals, stars and flowers to my frame. I chose to draw this memory because it’s special to me and funny and brings back good memories. -Alexis Smith
People need to keep their mask on for other people to be safe. Also also you! If Michael Jackson can, then you can too. People in my country aren't putting on their masks. (India) And I feel super scared for them. So this piece makes me smile, because it's MJ!
"Together WE can make a Difference." by Puru Raghav, Padonia International Elementary School, Grade 5
For this project, I used Oil Pastels, Crayons, and Markers. I chose to make this because Global Warming is a big problem and people need to be aware to try to limit their pollution. -Puru Raghav
This is an action figure I created to represent me as a soccer player. I drew the action figure digitally using Procreate. I made the box by hand using recycled items I found in my house, like cardboard, scrap paper, and magazines. I created a feature where you can take the drawing out of the box like when you open a doll out of the packaging. The drawing that you can pull out is on a piece of carboard with a little handle, so it is easier to pull out. I wanted to make my soccer girl action figure drawing into a 3d box, so it looks like an actual action figure packaging. I wanted to make it that way because I really enjoy creating different structures using recycled items I find. Creating this action figure was fun for me. Both the drawing and creating part of this action figure was a fun experience. I was able to show my creativity in something that I really enjoy doing. -Lila Zobel
My mandala was really fun to make, along with it taking about 1/2 hours to make. There is a variety of colors I used to make this Mandala. I am very happy to have this opportunity to be in this Art Show. Thank you. -Joseph Allen
I chose that section of my shoe because it was my favorite color of the shoe and it is a very cool checkered pattern. My first thought was the laces but I decided to do the back of the shoe. Another reason of why I chose that spot was because in my opinion drawing checkered patterns is very calming to draw. -Jay Castrillo
Here is my action figure. It is supposed to look like me, but it could be anyone. The person is hiking with their dog and their cat on their shoulder. It shows that people can have amazing relationships with animals. -Phoebe Hemm
Here is my action figure! It is a female Mandalorian. It shows that not all boys are the ones hidden under the Madalor armor. -Madeline Sprouls
The title of my artwork is “The Green Jungle”. I took a lot of time to draw, and this came from my creativity. At first, I was planning to make it Black and White, but then when I added color, I learned that it doesn’t hurt to try something new! Good stuff might come out of it. I also learned that marker and colored pencil look good together. I saw the landscapes by Henri Rousseau. I was surprised that before he became an artist, he was just a normal person who works. So, I thought I could change up my landscape a little and I added mountains so the viewer could see the horizon line. -Blen Asaminew
