Year 3

1. UOI 6 How We Express Ourselves Culmination Project

In this unit, we had an art portfolio, followed by an art exhibition as a cumulative assessment. Students began the unit with a provocation of different art forms and learned how they were connected to culture. In UOI, we had some direct instruction on the meaning of different paintings throughout history, and we discussed the deeper meaning of each of them. We also looked at song lyrics that the students brought in and discussed what the artists’ intended meanings were there. In English, we looked at different styles of poetry and different literary devices that can help poetry become more interesting and impactful. We also looked at narrative storytelling and taught them the proper way to include dialogue in their stories. 

So, for our cumulative assessment, students were to include art pieces with an explanation of the deeper meaning or symbolism they incorporated. They had to write their own poetry and try to include some of the literary devices we learned, as well as experiment with different poetic styles. Then, they had to write a narrative story that included some dialogue. This was to form their art portfolio! Then, during the second to last week of school, we had an art exhibition in which the students showcased their art pieces and discussed the deeper meaning that they intended. It was a huge success! 

2. Festival Seni Sekolah (Kelas 3)

Pada hari Rabu tanggal 22 May 2024, siswa kelas 3 tampil di pertunjukan Festival Seni Sekolah bersama dengan kelas yang lain. Kelas 3 menampilkan pertunjukan menyanyi, permainan piano dan “Ostinatinato” dengan menggunakan cangkir plastik. Di pertunujukan tersebut kami menyanyikan lagu Ba Ba Black Sheep dan Sun Roof. Kami sangat senang dapat berbagi tanggung jawab dengan teman kami,  sehingga kami menampilkan penampilan yang menarik, kompak, dan bersemangat. Di penampilan ini kami belajar untuk bekerja sama dalam bernyanyi dan memainkan alat musik. Kami juga merasa senang karena dapat melihat dan menikmati pertunjukan dari kelas yang lain.

Setelah pertunjukan, kami berkesempatan untuk mengunjungi galeri dan menikmati karya seni dari kelas kami dan kelas yang lain. Kami membuat suatu gambar bentang lahan dikombinasikan dengan gambar dari imajinasi kami kemudian kami mewarnainya dengan teknik gradasi. Tak lupa kami berfoto bersama di karya kami dan juga salah satu karya dari kelas kami. Di kegiatan ini kami belajar untuk dapat menghargai karya seni dan berpikiran terbuka dengan pesan yang disampaikan di setiap karya seni tersebut.

Sampai berjumpa di Festival Seni tahun depan!
