Students also began matting their projects and labeling them in preparation for the Art Show on Wednesday. Towards the end of the day students began a take home project.

Students worked hard and finished their Japanese unit today. They worked with sumi ink complimented by watercolors and used Asian brushes that are made of bamboo and hog hair. Some chose to do architecture, while other students chose to do traditional Geishas, while others made animals such as koi fish and lucky cats.

EXTENDED DAY
Today was entirely devoted to abstract painting. Students learned about contemporary artists' abstract painting techniques before setting out to explore and experiment the many endless possibilities of what paint and tools were able to produce in non-representational abstract art. After getting much practice in the studio space, we ventured outside to a forested area to create a very large collaborative abstract painting as a class.

Today we had a sample platter of a few tropical fruits that grow in Hawaii. We had pineapple, bananas, limes, and guava. Many students had already had most of these fruits besides the guava! Students also learned how to prepare pineapple. Today we also learned about the importance of Hula in Hawaiian culture. We started our next project of creating a Hawaiian hula dancer.

Today we began our Hawaii Unit. Students began to create their own tropical Hawaiian motif patterns. These Hawaiian motifs are something you would find on Hawaiian shirts or sometimes patio decor on furnishing items such as pillow covers, cushions, curtains etc. We also watched a series of videos to learn more about the traditions of Native Hawaii apart from the stigma of travelers vacationing. Students learned how to greet each other in Hawaiian fashion, how to make poi out of taro root, how they use banana leaves for serving food, and fished with nets off shore in Molokai.
