Artwork #1: Seasons of Buttons, Beads and Trees by Teacher Hend
Student Grid #1; Individual student designs; acrylic Impasto w/ buttons and beads
42" x 42" canvas panel-board grid; mounted with frame
In a multi process project, using various mediums, the children constructed their trees while keeping in mind the various seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter). Following the initial detailed process, paint was applied using the impasto technique. This thick style of paint enables each image to appear more multi-dimensional and demonstrates each child's unique perspective.

Artwork #2: From Selfies to Self-Portraits
Student Grid #1; 40 3/4" x 32 3/4"; mounted w/frame
This multi-process project started as a study of facial expressions and emotions while using an iPad to take selfies. Inspired by the work of high school teacher Monica Tiulescu, winner of the 2017 'SF Beautiful' Muni art contest.
Process:
1. Each child chose one selfie to alter (using an application), print and trace at the light table. Some children were aided by the teacher using hand over hand to trace, while other children worked independently.
2. Copies of tracings were provided to the children to examine and allow for their making changes while coloring their portrait using watercolor, pastel and marker to make three versions. These process pieces will go home after the auction.
3. Each version you see here was child-selected, transferred with carbon paper onto his/her individually painted background (acrylics on gessoed boards) and highlighted with black paint for a finishing touch.

Artwork #3: Shapes in Sand
Student sand art grid; framed behind plexiglass; 32" x 45"
In this colorful work, the children studied the intricacy of pattern and design while using a stencil method. While creating this project we observed abstract paintings by Wassily Kandinsky and looked at Lucy Micklethwait's book entitled I Spy Shapes in Art.
Process:
1. Individual preliminary sketches employed the usage of graphite and hand-cut stencils. Children learned about shape and symbol recognition while following RHS eye-hand control strategies for individual development.
2. Original designs were further developed through a color-coding with markers process; hues selected based upon light and dark colors planned adjacent to each other. These color patterns were then used as guides for the child's creation of his/her final work.
3. The production of student design in sand was individualized to support child independence for glue application, medium control and concentration.

Artwork #6: Underwater Scene-scape
72 1/2" x 61 3/4"; Acrylic on canvas; linen float w/frame
Combining 'Marine Life' and 'Ocean Conservation' unit study themes, each child was assigned an underwater animal to research, hand-paint to canvas and eventually affix onto the Underwater Scene-scape mural. With emphasis on developing eye-hand coordination and concentration, our Transitional Kindergarten Students 'led the way' for the realization of this multi-process imaginary coral reef student creation.
