My favorite part is the falling snow because it was fun to make. Hello, my name is Fannie Moreno, and I'm in 6th grade at Franklin School. My teacher's name is Miss Jo. For this project, I made a bull's shadow with dark and light colors. I wanted to have a balance of light and dark. I chose a bull because it's one of my favorite animals. I started by drawing half of the bull's face and then cut out the pieces. Then I flipped the pieces to create the other half of the bull's face. My favorite part making my art was gluing down the pieces because it is when the other half of the face appeared. I hope you enjoy hearing a little bit about my art. Hi everyone, my name is June Brayden, and I'm a 4th grader at Franklin. My work was inspired by the artist Alma Thomas. A fun fact about her is that she was the first African American woman to have art on display in the White House. The title of my artwork is Sunset Tulips, and I used colors that describe my title like red, orange, yellow, pink, and a darkest orange. I used skinny strips of red and various squares of yellow and orange and arranged them vertically on my paper. I'm very proud that I made it look exactly how I pictured it in my head. The colors perfectly matched the title I chose for my work. Thanks for taking the time to hear more about my artwork. Hi, my name is Melanie Perry, and I am in 5th grade. My teacher is Ms. McAlinas at Franklin School. For this project, I made a circle of yin and yang, light and dark. I made one side full of zentangle patterns, the other side full of colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. I learned about making different patterns, blending colors together, and creating visual texture while making this project. My favorite part of my art is my zentangle patterns because that took me some time, and I am very proud of how it turned out. I hope you enjoyed hearing about how I created this piece of art. My name is Nyla White, and I am in 4th grade at Franklin Elementary School. For this project, I created a heart gem with many different shapes. I used watercolor paint to make different values of red to paint the gem. I used a little red and lots of water to lighten the value and a little black to darken the value. This taught me about mixing tints and shades. My gem looks real, but I can touch it or pick it up. My favorite part is the white lines because it made my gem look shiny and sparkly. Thanks for listening to me explain more about my art. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, please like, comment, and subscribe. See you in the next video! I hope you enjoyed this video.

I used a pencil to make eyes and a mouth. Then, I did the body and the hair and the skirt. I felt really excited when I finished my sculpture of Belle. It took me about five minutes. Hello. I'm Katelyn Usher. I'm in the third grade. My teacher's name is Miss. Tony. So when I was doing my art project, I was going for like a galaxy theme, but I really didn't want to go for that, so like, I made like this purplish color, like I used blue, white, and red to make like that purplish color. At first, it was like a little bit black, but then it started turning purple, and then after it was done drying, I put like, I used a black marker, and I put like dots on it, and then I slightly, I slightly did like a mark on it, and then after, it looked like something was swimming in there, and then after that, I put a little bit more white in it, and it looked a little bit more like darker, like a dark purple, than how it was. Thank you for listening. Hi, my name is Jennifer Fitzpatrick, the Dalton West School District 148 Band Director and Fine Arts Committee Co-Chair.
