What are Masks For?

Third grade explored many purposes of masks as they designed their own interpretation of a plaster mask.  Students chose their own materials to add clues that would make viewers guess the purpose of their mask.

Earth Day Still Life Flowers

In order to pay tribute to flowers that make our earth so beautiful, Kindergarten artists designed a mixed-media paint and oil pastel background that would show off their bright tissue paper flowers and crafted a vase to display the flowers in with colorful plastic.  They learned that painting objects from life that are not moving is called a still life.
