During the month of April many fun and exciting things are happening. Please be on the look out for the Kids Kreations items to be coming home this week. All items were placed in the children's lockers Wednesday evening.
Kindergarten- Noodle Pots! We made pinch pots out of clay and added "noodle" decorations by pressing in real dried noodles! Fish Weaving: Students are working on learning the art of paper weaving. We are talking about patterns during this project focusing on Over- Under- Over - Under!
First Grade- Insect drawings: The students used the artist Levon Biss' website Microsculpture to create detailed drawings of insects. Next, they added bright colors using oil pastel. The students are quite the little entomologists! Eiffel Tower: To begin our journey into studying the art of artist Henri Rousseau we took a quick trip to Paris! Students drew their own Eiffel Towers and illustrated what their family would do if they got to take a trip to Paris and see the tower.
Second Grade- Self Portraits: Students completed the self portraits to start out the month.
Clay Coil Vessels: We are currently learning how to build a pot using coils.
Third Grade- Georgia O'Keeffe Abstract Flower Painting: We finished up our water color paintings of flowers. The walls are filled with our beautiful blooming gallery!
Mayan Weaving: Students are just getting into weaving with yarn on a loom. Each week we will learn 2 new weaving techniques to add to our looms.
Fourth Grade- Origami Math Mandalas: Students just completed an origami project where they worked on 4 different folds and created paper mandalas showing either radial symmetry or linear symmetry. They even added clues using fractions to connect with the current math unit of fractions and decimals.
Fifth Grade- Clay Figurines: We are studying the clay traditions behind garden gnomes and bobble heads this month. Students have learned about the history of both and are making personal clay figurines. Be on the look out for sneaky gnoming neighbors!
