6TH GRADE ARTISTS BRING THEIR DREAM BEDROOMS TO LIFE!

Ms. Kellam’s 6th grade art students have been hard at work creating their very own “Dream Bedroom” sculptures!

As part of this creative project, students explored the world of interior design while learning the fundamentals of 3D design in art class. Using their imagination and artistic skills, students designed unique bedroom spaces that showcase creativity, detail, and personal style.

Great job to our talented 6th graders for their hard work and creativity on these amazing sculptures!
