The Giraffe Gallery | Children's Art at Hayes Elementary

I'm am so excited to have this opportunity to share with you all of the beautiful artwork created by our students. I learn so much from them every day as they use their imagination to solve creative problems. In the process we answer deep questions like "What does the tooth fairy look like?" and "How can we communicate using visual art?" It is a pleasure to guide, inspire, listen and learn along with my students each day. -Mrs. Charles

Artists are Communicators

Kindergarteners learned one way to tell a story by using puppets. Their "wild thing" puppets have lots of texture which is one of the elements of art.

Artists are Reflective

2nd graders discussed the artist Pablo Picasso and his "blue period". Our young artists reflected on how important it is to talk about sad and happy feelings. Art can be a great way to explore feelings. Here are some of their paintings in only shades of blue.
