Learning to use pastels created excitement during today's class. The students divided into small groups to learn about Mexico and their artists through centers. We did a little Mexican cooking, bingo, and even leaned the Mexican Hat Dance.

7th grade: Greek Afterlife
7th graders had fun transforming the classroom into the Greek afterlife:)
Participating with fate cards also added to the learning fun!
6th grade: ATOMIC BOMB! group brain teaser
Can these 6th graders work together to defuse the bomb before our entire school is ruined?!?!?
They do a great job listening to each others ideas and making decisions as to which is the best way to go about this group brainteaser.
6th grade: Hokusai Watercolor
6th graders learned about a Japanese artist named Hokusai who painted watercolor landscapes. After learning a few watercolor techniques we attempted to create our own watercolor landscapes.
6th grade: Tessallation Art
Tessellations, also know as Mathematical art, was a unique challenge for 6th grade artists. No gaps, no overlaps, and must fit like a puzzle piece. It's harder than you think!!
These students show off their excellent work:)
