My Elementary School has decided all of our updates must be on the school's website and not individual blogs so this will most likely be my last post. The weebly website has also been blocked so it would be very hard for me to update. Sorry to those of you have been enjoying the projects and photos.

Elizabeth Davis was the art teacher for the day. She taught 6th graders how to make a coil basket, 4th graders how to weave a tapestry, and 3rd graders about A Sunday on La Grande Jatte by George Seurat and Compleanos De Lala Y Tudi by Carmen Lomas Garza. It was also mismatch wacky tacky spirit day.
Here are some of the prints mounted by the students and displayed outside of their classroom.
4th graders learned about Georgia O'Keefe and oil pastel techniques to create beautiful drawings of flowers up close. Here are some of the final flowers!
Students gave each other a critique of where they could add more, what was working well, and if they could tell what the building would sell. Here are some of the finished work. Some in crayon and some in oil pastel.
Kindergarteners used pencil erasers and cardboard to create a beautiful scroll with a branch from a Japanese Cherry Blossom Tree. They learned about the cherry blossom trees around the tidal basin in DC.
Kindergarteners made hats with crazy 3D shapes on them! They also listened to book called "Do You Have a Hat?"
Challenge: Create a landscape painting depicting a way that a man-made structure & nature combine. In their classrooms students learned about ways that landscapes can be transformed. Some examples are by man and some are by nature: erosion, acid rain, earthquake, volcano, seismic waves, glaciers, bridges, dams, buildings, irrigation, and farmlands. In art class they were taught about nature reclamation and asked to choose an image of a structure or land being reclaimed by nature because of a disaster, or being abandoned. Students did a live auction as the teacher went through a large bank of images on a projector. Some students used laptops to choose their images from the same large preselected bank. Students started by lightly sketching out the painting with a light color of paint. Then large blocks of color were quickly painted with large brushes.
