My student teacher Mrs. Carroll taught 2nd graders about Optical Illusions and had them create their own using paint and paper weaving. First students had to paint a gradient on a sheet of paper, then the next week they created a paper loom and cut their painting apart. They put the painting back together inside the loom and created amazing Op Art!

3rd graders created a clay pot with a face of a character, made up or not, glazed them, and then filled them with dirt and grass. Crazy grass hair really adds some silliness to these characters. DAY 2: Creating the Pot DAY 3: Glazing the pots
The Elementary Institute for the Arts (E-IFTA) is a 2-week arts immersion program for students who love to sing, dance, act, perform, and create. In week one students rotate through four classes, each representing a different arts form – dance, music, theatre, and visual art. In week two they are introduced to four entirely new classes. Classes are taught in a fun and supportive environment where students are encouraged to develop their talents and skills in the arts.

They learned the difference between shapes and 3d forms, and how to sculpt the forms. They also looked at this sculpture by Henry Moore. What do you think the sculpture is of? Answer below... The name of the Henry Moore sculpture is "Reclining Mother and Child".

Kindergarten students learned about different types of lines and listened to the story "Straight Line Wonder". They drew 3 horizontal and 3 vertical lines to create a wacky grid. Inside the grid they practiced different marker techniques like dots, thin lines, thick lines, squiggles, and textures. The next class students made a paper loom in the same color family (warm or cool) that they chose for the marker drawing. They wove their drawing into the loom to create a paper weaving. They also had to glue all of the ends down so the weaving would stay together. Here are some more students working on their weavings! Here are some finished projects!!
4th graders used a slab base, coils, and a pinch pot to create a clay shoe. They could make a boot, moccasin, dress shoe, sneaker, or anything else they could think of! After they were fired in the kiln, the students got to glaze them any color they wanted. Some finished shoes! Some proud sculptors!
