​Kindergarten students have been practicing different lines and shapes.   We will be starting a cat project where we combine the lines and shapes we have been practicing.  The LOP students used lines and shapes to create a landscape of a road and houses.  We practiced cutting out shapes on the line and coloring in shapes neatly.  We will also be making a cat and have started the project by making a mat.  First grade has moved on to Asia where we will be creating Indian elephants using patterns.  We looked at a picture of an elephant sculpture that is 3,000 years old.  Ask your child about the photos of Indian elephants wearing costumes that we looked at.  Second grade is finishing up their babushka pattern project by filling out a self-evaluation.  They will be beginning a Native American weaving project next.  Third grade is beginning a project based on the people sculptures of Alberto Giacometti.  We are talking about sculptures and the proportions of the human body.
