Student Spotlight: Jonathan

There are many talented students at Dundee Community Schools. Here is a look at some amazing work done by Jonathan. He is currently going into 8th grade and has a passion for “junk" art, experimenting and assemblages. I have been so impressed by his work, I just had to share. He has been updating me over the summer with his creations. I hope you appreciate them as much as I do.

Above is one of his most recent pieces and my personal favorite!

Last summer at art camp students created junk assemblages. Above is one of Jonathan’s examples. This is when I learned about his love for creating out of junk.

Below is a picture of Jonathan’s studio space in his basement…

Another great thing I love, is Jonathan documents his art on YouTube. Check out/subscribe to his channel….

Spring Texture Bunnies

In 1st grade students learn about different Elements of Design, one of which is Texture. Students painted spring bunnies using a sponge painting technique and then added details with oils pastels and paper. Got to love the cute, fluffy, soft, fury, fuzzy, bunnies.

Happy Spring and Happy Easter!
