Art: Hibernating Animals

The girls made their hibernating animals in art using Model Magic, watercolors and Sharpies. They started by sketching the form using various size ovals.  Then they constructed the form with Model Magic.  Finally, they added the fur, skin, scales, and feathers layering colors and marks.  Their animals felt right at home in their dioramas... And are probably still sleeping... because spring is not here yet! 

Art: Masks can...

The girls finished their masks by painting big and small shapes to make patterns and adding decorative elements like beads, buttons, and feathers.  They considered how their mask could transform them and told their story using the video feature on their iPad. Next they will wear their masks and present them to their classmates.
