This exhibition celebrates the creativity and curiosity of the 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade artists at Bollman Bridge Elementary School, highlighting the importance of artistic process—experimenting, observing, revising, and discovering along the way. Throughout the year, students explored materials, color, and creative problem-solving while developing their own artistic voices. Third-grade artists created playful exaggerated animal portraits using recycled and layered materials, transforming bits of paper and foam into expressive creatures full of personality. Fourth-grade artists explored color theory and color mixing through vibrant abstract paintings inspired by Alma Thomas, studying how repeated marks and thoughtful color choices can create rhythm and movement. Fifth-grade artists investigated relief printmaking, carving designs and experimenting with color relationships to produce bold printed compositions. Together, these works celebrate experimentation, imagination, and the many ways young artists learn through making.
