6th graders were learning about Neolithic back in their home classroom. After seeing this oportunity we connected both curriculums, art and home room. This is what we came up with. We ended up having a small competition to see whose arrow were shoot the further !

We are very excited as we recently bough a beautiful kiln where we can fire a significant amount of clay together. These awesome coins are the second batch we fired you can check them in the video below! It's time for a fresh mural! The previous one has graced our wall for a full 2 years, and frankly, that's far too long. It's time for a change! Our inspiration struck after diving into the world of M.C. Escher and Optical art.
6th graders learned about the Great Seurat and Pointillism! June came up with a new art movement... Fingerism! (check the video below) Grade 7's learned about Keith Haring and his colorful and bold art. We used recycled carboard. Technique: Paper mache Our Grade 4 students were studying the Ice Age, so we decided to transform the corridor into an Ice Cave. It's been also freezing lately, probably the coldest days we've had in 20 years here in Beijing, and feels like even inside the school.
So, here's what we did: we took some recycled paper from last year's Early Human cave project and got creative. We repainted those papers using acrylic paint and sponges to give them an icy, cave-like look. Now, our corridor looks like a cool ice cave, adding a unique touch to the school environment! It's as if we've stepped back into the Ice Age right here in our school corridors. |
