Third graders are busy working on Africa units to prepare for arts in school night. We have been busy with the paper mâché masks. It sure is a messy project, but we always have a lot of fun getting our hands dirty!
Yes, that is the correct title of this post! Earlier this year I went to a workshop where one of the ideas was to sculpt with toilet paper. The trick is to barely wet one side of the paper then let the water soak or seep into the toilet paper. You can shape it, let dry, & when it dries it will hold its shape & can be painted. I decided to teach pop art and Wayne Theibaud with this lesson. So, 5th grade students are creating their favorite food. This is still a project in progress....more pics soon! I started everyone with sculpting a simple egg, then we painted them green & various other colors. The timing worked out great for Dr. Suess read across America!
In 2nd grade classes we have been studying asian culture & in particular Chinese New Year.Students love the bright cultural traditions & especially the dragons. We glued yarn in a shape for the body & then drew a pattern in oil pastels. Here are some of their masterpieces.
I've done a unit on native Americans with k-2 this year and students have enjoyed learning about the culture. We read the book The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush and used it as our inspiration to create these beautiful sunset paintings.
