Trick or Treat 2019

|
Each of our students planned, designed, and created their own self-portrait trick or treaters and canvas paintings for this Halloween display. We worked with paper mache, polymer clay, paper clay, and various fabrics to bring these characters to life. This project took us 6 weeks of dedicated work but it was so worth it. This creation was a blast! Imagine Peace 2018

Each of our talented artists created a paper machine animal to dance in this front window display. We made accessories with pipe cleaners, beads, wire, and tie dye coffee filter clothes to complete the look. Our students got the choice of creating a tie dye vest, poncho, or skirt. This window was a BLAST to create!
Fiesta de los Muertos

We celebrated Dia de los Muertos 2018 by sculpting fun and coloful skeleton dancers. Each ceramic dancer is complete with sculpy clay details and painted with acrylic paints.

A Mystical Magical Christmas 2014
All our young artists sculpted mystical creatures for this icy art installation. Unicorns, pegasus and dragons were sculpted from clay then painted with soft colors and metallic paint. Small clay ice castles add to the the frozen landscape. We also did ice castle paintings in acrylic paint. I guess we were inspired by Frozen fever.
Welcome to California 2014
We love California and wanted everyone to know. All these hamburgers, sandwiches and fries were sculpted in clay and then painted. We had an art show with this one. Check out the snacks 
We made these cute burger cupcakes with white cake mix, sesame seeds, ginger snaps, green colored coconut and sugar cookie fries. YUM!!! Kids LOVED them!
Yummy burger paintings filled the walls!
Baile de los Muertos 2013
We love Halloween and Dia de los Muertos and this one combined them both! Each student sculpted their own skeleton and then wired it together so it could dance and move! Their heads were painted in Dia de los Muertos style. We had an ART Show with this one. Check out the cool centerpiece our young artists created for the ART Show below.
It's Raining Cats and Dogs 2013
Well since it doesn't rain in California very often, we thought we'd take matters into our own hands and create our own rain of sorts. So paper mache colorful cats and dogs with little umbrellas fell from the sky. SO FUN!!!
Happy Holidays Village 2012
A Charles Dickens Christmas Carol inspired this one. All the houses are sculpted and painted by our young artists. The best part is we could light them UP!!!
We filled the walls with our young artist's Nutcrackers from around the world. All Nutcracker paintings were done in watercolor and watercolor pencil.
Halloween 2012
This one was SUPER CUTE!!! Each young artist created their own self portrait trick or treater out of clay and Paperclay and then made a costume for it. They were all attending a masquerade ball in the grand ball room. All artists also created a charcoal drawing of themselves wearing their favorite costume. They all came out amazing! Then, as always we had a Halloween art show complete with haunted house. TOO MUCH FUN!!!
Down on the Farm 2011
Pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, horses even dogs and cats were all sculpted by our young artists for this down on the farm art installation. They even made clay barns!

Halloween 2014
These are some of the paper mache ghouls for our 2014 Halloween window. Their heads are paper mache, feet and bodies are fired clay and their facial details are created from Paperclay. We painted them with 3-4 layers of paint and A LOT OF LOVE!
All our young artists did a portrait of their paper mache ghoul and created the moody and spooky environment for the background.
The Slushee Olympics 2014

This one is really hard to see but all students created their favorite fairy tale character out of paper mache and then they escaped from our Fantasyland Giant Storybook. The kids really loved creating their favorite storybook character.
Travel Around the World 2012
This was a fun theme with a lot of geography. All students created a suitcase and their own designed travel stickers. They also sculpted famous landmarks like, the Great Wall of China, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Coliseum, The Eiffel Tower, Lombard Street, Big Ben and their favorite mode of transportation, boat, scooter, double decker bus. The lanterns were made in honor of the city of love, Paris.
Dinosauria 2012
This is one of our very favorite themes! Our artist's created paper mache colorful dinosaurs, some liked to climb and other's loved the swamp! Thankfully all omnivores, herbivores and carnivores got along just fine.
Mr. Monet's Backyard 2012Ahh, the relaxing palette of colors that Impressionism creates! Our young artists created an impressionist mural that was pieced together. The ground was made into a pond and then they each sculpted a koi fish to swim in its peaceful water.
Colonel Culpepper's Haunted Mansion 2011
Colonel Culpepper's Haunted Mansion was inspired by the Haunted House at Disneyland. These little trick or treaters were created out of Sculpey clay. The trees were sculpted out of clay and spooky faces were added. Fun and silly tombstones were also added. We also painted spooky paintings for the student gallery. Then we had our Halloween ART Show and haunted house.
Petropolis 2010
Petropolis was a city our young artists created out of recycled boxes and tubes. They added cars, taxis, scooter and dogs of course. This one was so big, it took up two large areas! It was really hard to keep little ones out of this city, it looked like so much fun to play in!

Egypt has so much history and art, it's hard to cover it all. Each young artist created an egyptian sculpture like the Sphinx, a pyramid container, and a plaque with their name written in hieroglyphics. Our young artists loved creating death masks out of paper mache. We could have even added more to this one but ran out of time.
