BACK to School 2021 September
Thank you so much parents for organizing materials. We will be safe, learn to take care of our own supplies, and be organized too!
Parents..... I miss you in school, another year without you around is hard for us in Art and in class. We will follow the rules and think positively.
We at SOIS have your child's safety as our No. 1 concern.
Creativity is fun! But it is more fun with everyone involved. See you in cyberspace on Back To School Night 2021!
We keep our supplies like this now.
May 10 3D shapes
May 10 3D shapes
for art class if you have finished and colored your mind map.
Try to make some basic 3D shapes out of paper
Look for the best video at your level. These need a ruler and glue. There are many great origami ones too.
This will help you in your class mapping project this week.
Have fun and try something new. Be sure you can pause the video.
Try to find a cone or cylinder or other shapes you like that would be good in a 3D mapping project.
It is much harder to make on your own without a template. It is a good challenge for your spacial sense.
This a a real challenge.
If any of these are easy try a harder shape.

2021 May 6 Complete the mind map planning
1- Check to see you have your mind map done.

It will be so fun.
I am looking forward to see your creative and knowledgeable ideas. Here are some samples below I got from you guys in G3 and G4 on Seesaw, the internet, my photo in our community and my friend Ms Aki.
Miu A good start to your city - please include more categories and pictures
An amazing bird eye view map from Aanya I' d like to see the planning and mapping for this one.

It is not about cities but it looks so artistic
The creative process is so important to all learning and planning
Here is a start from G4 - after your do the symbols try to include pictures of each part.
Try to put in all aspects of your city.
Here is a map of the above ground and the underground from the past - my friend made this for the Minpaku museum.
This is a great artistic example in a 3D relief ( you can touch it) to show a shell mound in Tohoku and how people were living in the Jomon time period in Japan.
The ocean was so important to their city . What else do you see?
Thanks Holyn and Michael for your maps. Let's put in all the details to prepare for drawing on foam core in class next week.

Let's make a mind map of what to include in your above ground and below ground city drawing on foam core for ART! We will draw the final one in black permanent marker on the large foam core when you come back after golden week. We will use the plan based on what is in your sketchbook.
You might have missed some things so here is a list to consider.
Art Assignment: Please make a mind map with these categories below and maybe others. Use small drawings and good Art Elements in it. Make a beautiful design and use good lettering.
Tomorrow for Art you can use colored pencils or watercolor to paint and draw the details, frames or pictures that you included. Use any paper or materials you have at home.
Mind mapping helps you categorize your city and it will also help you be sure you didn't leave anything out. It also helps you learn and organize. It is visual learning.
Here is a list from me of what to consider please include as much as you can.
Highways transportation
Structures/monuments/ offices/banks
Living spaces
Green spaces/ Gardens
Malls/ shopping /stores
Sports areas/ Museums/ Amusements
