Looking for awesome award winning art ideas

[kellyscottfrl]

I'm beginning a new job teaching elementary students at a really great school that is opening this fall. We have an art festival coming up at the end of sept that I would love to have my students enter artwork. It's the biggest art festival we have. Most teachers use work from students that is finnished at the end of the previous year since it is often the best work. This is a new school so I won't have that option. I would love to have some awesome artwork to display at the festival. However, I will only have about a month to have students create it. Keeping all of this in mind could you recommend some fool proof art lessons that you have had huge sucess with that might generate award winning art? I would love to have a lesson for each grade level K-5 that would be really really successful !!! I would love nothing more than have one of my students win an award the first year we were open. I previously taught middle school so I need ideas for elementary art!!!
