We have been working on jewelry making in 5th grade for several weeks now and I am blown away by their creativity. They love this project and I don't blame them. I have always enjoyed working with my hands. The feeling you get when creating something functional is like nothing else. Enjoy the pictures!

For this project I wanted to focus on three things.
1. I wanted students to learn to work collaboratively towards a common goal 2. I wanted students to learn what a sculpture was 3. I wanted students to learn that art is meant to be shared. Students were either assigned a partner or partnered with a friend. They were challenged to work together to create a sculpture of a tree. When completed they selected a CCSD employee in this school to give their tree to. I called them Cheering trees. They are meant to spread a little springtime cheer. Ask your student about them and they will share with you who they selected and what they learned. #kindnessmatters third grade has been working so hard on their slab projects! We looked at the artist Lucy Tiffney for inspiration for these. First we rolled out a slab. Then using the additive and subtractive method we created plants on our slab. After they were fired once we then glazed them. Here they are coming out of the kiln. The student choices of top 3 from each class will be on display soon and the rest will be coming home! Art show save the date! |
