Alexander Calder in 3D

We read Alexander Calder's Circus book and got inspired to set out making our own Sculpture.
Our Rocking Stabile materials: Clay, Wire, Rocks, buttons, thread, wood, pipe cleaners and more....

My favorite part was watching them present their sculpture to the class - I'm glad we had time to do this.

A little textile curricula.

Early February: City Skylines, Texture and Gray Scale

Students first designed their Skylines using white paint on a background of their choice.

Before the Paint dried they added texture to buildings etc... using a variety of tools.

 Water Color was then added.  The texture created with the white appeared with this step.

 I just love how each City is SO unique!

 A Kindergardner's City makes me smile!

Kindinsky's Concentric Circles

We used crayon and watercolor to create our new sketchbook covers.

Our lesson focusd on Color.  Ask your child what complementray colors are!
