Grade 4 made these hot air balloons of paper mache. We first blew a balloon, they made the paper mache paste. Basically flour and water on the right proportion, we have a little advice for you to get the perfect paste, perfect stickness (if you wanna know just leave a comment below and I will reply happily). Then newspaper stripes, dip them well in the paste and then one by one paste it to the balloon. One problem you might find is how to store the wet balloons, so you have to be ready in advanced. I can also give you couple tips that worked really well with us.

Grades 3 did some beautiful paper folding work. We talked about the art of origami as an introduction. We recycled all the paper we found around school, whole project is 100% recycled. After 2 lessons they came up with this is the wonderful result.
We talked with our Grade 2 about tints and shades and we ended up with this amazing views of different sharks and other sea creatures. We basically used, blue acrylic, white and black. Also some black paper to cut out the silhouettes (I love the hammer head sharks)
Vincent Vang Gogh one of the biggest artists of all time. There are many art lessons about him. Sunflowers, Starry Night, Selfportrait, etc... We made the Sunflowers with the Grades 3 but with a little twist, guess which one?
We used soft pastel and oil pastel for outlines. Soft pastel is one of my personal favourite techniques. Paper weaving is a simple technique that can create a magnificent result, also it is great for fine motor skills. On this project Marcus weaved the paper and turned into this beautiful house (yes, those are cementery stones and a bat flying around)
