Love and creativity are in the air in Mrs. Orr’s art classroom this Valentine’s season!
Kindergarten artists explored the work of Pop artist Jim Dine, learning about the recurring themes in his art—especially his famous heart imagery. Students created their own expressive Pop Art hearts inspired by his bold, playful style. ❤️
First grade students studied Jean-Michel Basquiat, focusing on his powerful symbols and recurring imagery, including his iconic crowns used to represent strength, importance, and celebration. Their crowned heart creations beautifully reflect these meaningful ideas. 👑
Third grade artists explored oil pastel blending techniques and color layering while creating vibrant, concentric, tie-dye inspired hearts full of color and creativity. 💜
Mark your calendars, many of these pieces will also be featured in our upcoming Pop Art Glow Show during Night of the Arts on April 20th! ✨
We love seeing our young Panthers share their creativity and heart through art! 🧡🖤

Students explored how plants reproduce and how seeds spread in different ways 🌬️🌿 Through hands-on learning and a Samara Leaf Challenge (helicopter seeds to us non-scientists 😄), Panthers put engineering, creativity, and critical thinking to the test. After developing their blueprint, students used provided materials to replicate a Samara Leaf and tested their creations by measuring how long they took to fall to the ground and how far they traveled from the base.
