6th grade: Picasso

How many shades of blue can you make using only black and white?  That's what 6th graders found out during their Picasso lesson of his Blue Period.  (some students used another color other than blue, but still the same concept)

6th grade: African art

The students had their choice of Kente cloth weaving experience or paper mache' an African mask.  Here are a few pics that show what they chose.

 Students put on a play, The Tale of Perseus, for the class complete with costumes.  Not quite a broadway production, but close:)

 

6th grade Watercolor: Japanese artist: Hokasai

6th grade learned about Japanese culture and experienced some origami and Haku (Japanese poetry). We learned about the artist, Hokasai and his watercolor technique and then tried some of our own.

This painting, The Wave, was one of our inspirations from Hokasai



7th graders portray the Greek Afterlife

It was all fun and games learning about the myths of Greek Afterlife.  The students definitely had a chance to show their creativity for this project!
