Time flies when you're having fun! As we approach Thanksgiving Break, here's a list of the projects Olive students are working on. As usual, Olive's kindergarten through second grade students can expect to bring home their artwork in January/ February, while our third though fifth graders bring home their work in June, with a few exceptions. Kindergarten: Kindergarten students finished up color mixing collages and are now working on monster drawings! First Grade: Our first graders finished up coral reef fish watercolor resists and are making "fall into winter" paintings! Second Grade: These students completed an Eric Carle inspired caterpillar collage and story and are working on a textured warm/cool color soft pastel leaf drawing! Third Grade: After finishing a pop-up frog project, third grade students are weaving paper baskets! Fourth Grade: Look in our last blog entry to see 4th grade students' Vincent van Gogh artwork. Presently, we are learning about Leonardo da Vinci and preparing to make self-portraits in a 3/4 pose, the same as the Mona Lisa. Our opening activity including reading Who Stole the Mona Lisa by Ruthie Knapp and going on a scavenger hunt to locate pieces of the "painting". Each piece contained a question on the back and was reassembled using our document camera to display the process for the whole class! Fifth Grade: Last but not least our fifth graders are working on an OMS favorite: dream bedroom dioramas! Previously, our student teacher Ms. Yankowski led the grade through an African-inspired batik project (pictures are in a previous post).
