Showing off the talents of my artistic students

I'm convinced that my students can create a masterpiece with any medium -- pencils, paint, and...egg shells!(?)

Check this out...

Aki from Mugyo Jr. High created the ocean, flowers, butterflies and birds all out of colored egg shells to make this work of art.

The four junior high students made these eggshell creations in art class. The finished artwork was displayed at Mugyo's graduation ceremony. I think one of the teachers from Mugyo made this next one. Again, all egg shells...

It's a portait of Mugyo Elementary/Jr. High School, the one that's closing. Egg-cellent work. :)

Atsumi made this beautiful picture of a cherry blossom tree ("sakura no ki" in Japanese -- 櫻の木)...

I can't wait to see some beautiful cherry blossoms soon. :)

A couple of weeks ago, the meeting room where I have my dance practice was lined with paintings. Apparently, students at different junior high schools in Kuji had to paint a picture about forest fires. I went around the room looking for pictures by my students. Here are the ones I found...



At some point, I'll have to take some pictures of the anime cartoon figures that my students have drawn in their notebooks. What they draw in 10 seconds is better than what I could do in 10 minutes! I have some talented students, that's for sure. Maybe they can teach me some art skills. :)

They all look beautiful. Eggshells seem a little weird but they did make nice portraits.

Sorry I've missed some posts - back from vacation now.

Daaayna,
Those are awesome pictures!!! I am not very good a drawing either! Maybe you should have them teach you?
Love you!!!

Wow...those eggshell pictures are amazing!!

I never would have thought to use eggshells in art let alone a picture.
