Student are working very diligently in the Art Studio! Students are finishing up self-portraits and are moving onto artworks based on the season. Students K&1 are creating leaves, pumpkins and monsters as we speak.
Third and fourth graders will be focusing on the crafts native to the Americas. Third graders will be starting luminaries based on Colonial American arts and crafts.While, fourth graders will be learning how to weave using a variety of discarded fabrics, yarn and ribbons. Many Native Americans are know for their beautiful weavings and this will be stressed and used as a base for the weaving lesson.
Fifth graders are continuing their knowledge of the Ancient South American civilizations by creating masks basked on Incan funerary masks. The students learned that many of these masks, made of gold and silver, were taken by the Spanish during their invasion and melted down to make coins and swords. The students will create masks from various discarded materials.
Lots of great things are happening in the Art Studio. Keep checking back for photos of student work!
