Been stuck at home most of the last 3 days (and tomorrow will make 4), caught something really bad going around and my whole body is suffering! Got the full thing: body aches, skin hurts, cough, sore throat, congestion, lost voice, fever, migraine.... I hate not being able to do anything though, so I've been compiling some more photos of the last round of projects.
My third grade students completed their paper mache bowls painted with radial symmetry last week!
4th grade created nighttime pumpkin scenes with glue drawing and color sticks. They learned about creating space within a picture and how to create 3D form using value, which they learned about earlier this year when they made their monochromatic self portraits.
One of my early finishers used the modeling clay to create a pumpkin with actual form complete with the ridges we drew on our papers.
We've now begun to create our snowflake sandpaper prints in 4th grade using warm or cool colors and radial symmetry. They looked at photos of real snowflakes up close to inspire geometric designs of their own. We'll use the heat from an iron to turn the solid wax into a liquid to transfer it to a black paper. They just started this past week and they are really excited!
