Quarter 3

Students heard the book "All Kinds of People" then talked to their neighbor about their physical different characteristics. We then did a guided collage self-portrait.

Students heard the book "Nadia's Hands" and learned about the Mendhi hand dying ceremony in Pakistani weddings. We then created our own designs using symbols, then made a print of the design. Then chose either warm or cool colors for an abstract background.

Students heard the book "Where's the Frog?" and explored the work of Claude Monet. We then painted big sheets with liquid watercolor paint and went through a guided paper sculpture build.

Students looked at the art of Wayne Thiebaud and we then created clay cupcakes and glazed them with various fun colors!

Students looked at the work of Edward Munich and then created their own version of this iconic painting by inserting their own idea of what the main character is "screaming" at.

Students looked at number patterns for the number of straws we were weaving (12) and then had to weave at least three different patterns.

Students looked at the art of Edward Hopper and then created their own interior space using perspective drawing and paint creating different values to represent light within the space.

Students created this dazzling spinners with three layers of Optical Illusion art. The bottom layer is an optical art design, the middle layer is a gear, wheel or cutout of some kind, and the top layer is another optical illusion on clear film.
