FALL PROJECTS

Things are happening during our Fall 2013 Art Brains sessions! Pictured here, a potpourri of: portraits of our future selves (including advice from our current selves to our future selves), safari binoculars, ghost pizza, and some crystals from Bradley Hills Elementary, Chevy Chase Elementary, and the Langley School. Coming soon: dream theaters!

This safari scene is from an alternate world where antelope hunt lions and the sun is out at night!

I'd take spider spit syrup over zombie skin cheese any day. But I'm not a ghost.

SAFARI BINOCULARS AT LANGLEY

Check out these exotic safari scenes spotted through our personalized binoculars at the Langley School! We had underwater safaris, as well as safaris in outer space, Lego lands, and more. Kinda sorta like homemade Viewmasters?

VOLCANO ISLAND MANIA!!

Look at how beautiful these rainbowy volcanic eruptions are! Just look!

Thanks to Art Brains buddies Raul and Emily for helping to snap pictures!

ICE CREAM TIME MACHINE PART II

As per this previous post, our Ice Cream Time Machine project involves students designing sundaes for people or creatures in either the past or future (and then transporting them through time to said recipients, naturally). After a week of gorgeous sundae creations, everyone's pretty in love with this project, and taken aback by how hungry for ice cream inedible modeling clay, paint, glue, and glitter can make us! Also, everyone is pretty covered with glitter (er...sprinkles). These pictures are from the Art Brains classes at Chevy Chase Elementary and the Langley School, and include sundaes for cyborgs, R2D2, a talking dog, future descendants, someone having a bad day during the Great Depression, and one of Santa's elves (in the future). Awesome work, guys!

This one's for a student's great great great great great great great great granddaughter!

TWO MORE TREE TRUNK TIMELINES (TMTTT)

These two tree trunk timelines were made by kindergardeners in last week's Art Brains class at the Langley School. 

Simply stated. Strangely poignant.
