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

4th Grade is working on Radial symmetry Origami paper sculptures! Wheh what a mouth full! We talked about radial symmetry and how to achieve it. Then we learned 3 different Origami folds; the hat fold, kite fold, and samuri fold. Then students got to folding! They are folding and folding and folding...then arranging! Check out the preview below! Tomorrow will be our first, not STEM, STEAM day in art class! We have a "Help the Hero" challenge. I hope you all enjoy it and here is the video of the challenge I will be showing for 4th grade. See you all tomorrow! i love this project. We learned about gestures and how to use them to capture movement of life. We then had some student models that we drew. Then we took an action pose and turned it into a sculpture using aluminum foil. Sorry parents if your kid starts using your aluminum! These sculptures are so much fun and everyone seemed to really enjoy it! Enjoy the pictures!
