ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: SOPHIA ALLISON
We finally got to visit our first artist in residence this year, Sophia Allison. With her, we got to create art to represent big themes like unity, peace, kindness, love, and hope. We also got to make paper from recycled paper. This paper then got to be a part of an art installation that she is currently working on.
VISUAL THINKING STRATEGIES
HOPES & DREAMS MURAL
As a whole third grade class, we collaborated and worked together to create this mural to represent our hopes and dreams for the future. We started out by answering the question, "What kind of person do you want to be? How do you want to be described?" We then brainstormed as a class and individually as to what qualities we want to have. We chose one to put on a feather. We designed and painted our own feathers.
We hope to take lessons from the geese and support each other in the attainment of these hopes and dreams.
THE BIG ORANGE SPLOT
In class, we read the book, The Big Orange Splot. In the book was this quote... "My house is me and I am it. My house is where I like to be and it looks like all of my dreams... ...Our street is us and we are it. Our street is where we like to be, and it looks like all our dreams." We were inspired to create houses to represent our own dreams and create streets that were us.
