During the Revolutionary War there were many spies secreting information to the Continental Army. Washington had a group of spies in New York who created the "Culper Code." However, one of the most ingenious spies was a woman who gave secret messages in plain sight on her clothesline. Read about her here:

Good afternoon from the online SWS art studio. I have a project for you that I think you might have fun with. This is my teacher friend, Cassie Stephens. She is kind of crazy and wild. I'm sure you'll enjoy her. The lesson can be found here:
https://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/2013/02/in-art-room-totally-tubular-castles.html
You should have some things at home to do this. Don't worry if you don't have paint. Crayons work just fine. If you don't have rolls you can just draw the turrets.
When your castle is finished I am anxious to see them posted on Artsonia. Be sure to have your folks sign you up. I'd like to see some art on Artsonia .

Art for the next few weeks. I hope you are taking some time to be creative during this stay-at-home time. Take pictures of your work no matter what it is. Are you building with Lego? Making chalk drawings on the sidewalk or driveway? Using cereal boxes to build wonderful things? Post a picture on Artsonia .com and don't forget to check out what your friends are making.
For today: We had to cut our clay unit short and I know that was disappointing. I was disappointed too. Here's a video of Cassie Stephens teaching her salt dough recipe. Don't forget to ask permission and use the things she suggests to keep your work surface clean. Once your art is dry then you can color it with markers. Post for us all to see.

So many of you were asking about our weaving project, that I thought it might be a fun thing to send home for you. I have included your cardboard looms because we didn't get to start them. Completing this will be counted in your grade for the semester but the due date won’t be until April 15. It is a fun thing that you can continue to do on your own. Yarn Owls?! Bunnies?! If you don't have access to yarn you can use string or even strips of magazines. When you finish your weaving, take a picture of it, and put it on ARTSONIA. If you don’t have an account yet your parents can sign you up. That way I can see your finished masterpiece.
Here is a tutorial that is pretty clear.
