Artwork at VA Commerce Bank
This time its the fifth graders turn to have artwork on display at the bank. The students spent two classes working on still life drawings. In the first class they drew an assortment of small items (playing cards, dice, dominoes, thermometer, watch face, and compass). In the second class they used markers, colored pencils, and crayons to color each item with a different color family. The choices were primary, secondary, warm, cool, complementary and analogous colors. Congratulations to the selected students: Kayley B., Lauren H., Bella D., Banks M., Carlie G., Diana A., Leah, Holly, Amariah, Kaylee G., Dana H., Caroline, Adriana L., Evan B., Paige P., Umar Z., Danielle H., Cecilia Z., Maris M., Chelsea L., Brynn, Sophie, Logan, Hudson G., Preeti, Lauren M. Stop by and see the great artwork if you are on Balls Ford Rd.
