Only One You
This really is one of a kind! Inspired by the book Only One You, the students of
Ms. Marks’ class each handpicked out a rock and painted it with their
uniqueness in mind. Their beautiful stones were attached to driftwood that was
converted into a unique and awe-inspiring bookshelf straight from nature. On
this bookshelf, you will find a custom-made book by Ms. Marks’ students, Words
of Wizdum. Measures 48”x18”x10”. Includes a signed copy of the book Only One
You gifted by the author Linda Kranz.

Funny Faces
Ms. Ward’s Kindergarteners explored clay and the many facial expressions that
can be made to show different emotions. After a lesson on facial expression,
(and an earlier lesson on texture from Ms. Amsel), they sculpted small slabs of
clay and made small faces on round slabs. They then cut more shapes from the
textured slabs, and after firing and glazing all the tiles, they arranged them in a
16”x20” framed masterpiece.
Donated by: Ms. Ward’s Class
315
Home Is Where The Heart Is
Ms. Cryan Leary’s Kindergarteners present to you a captivating work of art that
expresses their feelings of love for their newest family and home: classmates,
teachers and community who have welcomed them to this incredible school.
Using mixed media of oil pastels on colored paper and digital photographic
editing, the students designed a vibrant and colorful 20”x30” premium polished
acrylic print. From far away, you see two large hearts displaying the full color
spectrum, one inside the other. Up close, the image transforms to show each
student in black and white holding his/her personalized colorful heart up high
for all to see. Don’t miss out on this amazing time in our children’s lives when
they get to kick-off an annual tradition of sharing a special part of themselves
with their Queen Anne Family!

Keep Exploring
The inspiration came from not only our school rocket mascot but also from our
own parental desire to impress upon the Joy of Learning to our child. Led by
James Webber, a digital motion artist, this project was an opportunity to use
both digital imaging and traditional paint, blending conventional art techniques
with the flexibility of new media to create a final work of art. Using a
24”x36”canvas, James used each student’s hands as elements for a star point,
layering different pigments, glazes and paints. The students got to create their
own layouts, star placements, sizes, and type placements. To conclude this art
project, James created a fort where students used glow-in-the-dark stars to
create a night sky.

Worlds Beyond
The night sky is filled with massive objects sending their reflected light to
inspire wishes; each body of minerals and gas brimming with far-fetched tales
of bravery, sacrifice, and spectacle, all of which are absolutely true. Our project
is one photograph from the giant scrapbook of a wild astronomer. Drama
activities led to the creation of Meck-5, a far away galaxy containing the planets
Animal World, Tunnel Lady, Crazy Snowflake, Spacecraft, and Lazy Eight.
Individually collaged planets were super-collided and added—along with a sun—
to a 48”x26” night-sky board. What stories unfold as you gaze upon the shapes
of these worlds? Your child knows!

Autumn Birch Trees
This artwork from Ms. Smith's 1st Grade Class consists of 15 distinctive acrylic
paintings assembled onto a 15”x35" canvas. Teams of two 1st Graders prepared
each of the 15 paintings with bold, warm colors for background with an overlay
of bare birch tree trunks and branches. The finished piece is framed with a
simple oak border. This bold, colorful piece will look great in your Seattle home.
Students’ signatures and photos are proudly displayed on the back of the
artwork.

To Mondrian and Beyond!
For their artwork, Ms. Kiley’s 1st Graders reflected on being brave young
learners, taking inspiration from the life and works of Dutch painter Piet
Mondrian, who started out as a landscape painter and then decided to try
something new: abstract painting. The students discussed the bravery and
perseverance it took for Mondrian to set out on this new path, the concept of
abstract art and how today we see abstract art everywhere. Using acrylic paints,
each student played with shapes and colors to create their own original abstract
masterpiece on a 4x4 inch canvas and then assembling them to create a large
graphic-inspired 24"x24" art piece with a 3D element.

Playground Alphabet
Ms. Martin's 2nd Graders went in search of the alphabet on the QAE playground,
putting their iPads to use to photograph each letter that they found – and they
found them all! The photographs were then assembled into a larger image,
which was printed on a 20”x30” high-quality canvas. This unique and playful art
piece is a wonderful showcase of our kids’ photography work and a reminder to
us that letters are all around us.
Donated by: Ms. Martin’s Class
309
Dickens School of Fish
This project’s origin comes from the 2nd Graders’ PBL study of whales and water.
The backdrop of this 40”x26” work is a sunset reflecting QAE colors of purple
and orange. In the forefront is a school of vibrant fish being lead by Ms.
Dickens, the orca. Each child has created his or her own fish with oil pastels.
Accompanying the art is a class book displaying photographs of each child
along with his/her fish creation. The students have named all fish and listed
adjectives that describe how they see themselves.

Adorable Garden Rain Barrel
Hand painted by Ms. Leckie's students, this 55-gallon rain barrel will brighten up
anyone's yard. Colorful flowers, clouds, butterflies and insects adorn this
practical addition to your garden. The rain barrel is signed by each child and
comes complete with a screen grate to keep debris and insects out, as well as a
brass spigot with a hose hook-up. A rain barrel will save most homeowners
about 1,300 gallons of water during the peak summer months. Saving water not
only helps protect the environment, it saves you money and energy!

I Wish
Origami "Wish Stars” in hues of blue and green were folded by Mr. Bing's 3rd
Graders as part of a math project. The students were asked to write their wishes
on paper, which provided the base for the foreground composition. Once folded,
all the “Wish Stars” were collected into a 30”x30”x1.5” transparent plexi-glass
box along with a stylized abstract of students' writing and the QAE Treehouse
building. The composition was created with fused ink on nylon as an image
photo transfer on plastic stencil in burnt orange. What a wonderful treat it will
be to have so many wishes in your home.

Reflections
What do you see when you look in the mirror? This unique mosaic piece will
reflect back to you the brilliance and creativity of our children. Each mosaic tile
is individually designed and crafted by Mr. Liner’s fabulous 3rd Graders. The
glass tiles are combined to create a brightly framed mirror, with the rich colors
inspired by the Pacific Northwest and the exuberant energy of our children.

Dog: A Colorful Life
Rediscover your youth with this colorful pup portrait made with love by Ms.

their own unique pieces using steel wire and Duralite plexiglass and then
painted them to contribute to this collaborative hanging sculpture. Measuring

artwork. Peace Poles are posts that bear the message, May Peace Prevail On
Earth in the languages of the world. They are in 180 countries all over the world,
dedicated as monuments to world harmony. Peace Poles are now recognized as
the most prominent international symbol to peace. When you plant your Peace
Poles in your garden, you are connecting with people all over the world who

A Cup of Joe
The inspiration for this piece came from Mr. Bailey’s first name, Joe and from…
COFFEE! Each of Mr. Bailey's 5th Graders created a unique coffee cup rendering

arranged together to form a 22”x28” masterpiece. The contrasting colors make
this a treasure to have in your kitchen--and will inspire the feeling of waking up
to a Cup of Joe!
