Day 2.
They used any tool they found in the art room to paint their sculptures. Brushes, hands, sponges, stamps, toothbrushes... anything! Some of them decided to create beautiful textures with the paint itself, others just a flat layer, blend the paint, etc... Check all the pictures below and if you have any question about the whole artistic proccess, please leave a comment below in the comment box and I will reply to you as soon as possible.

Every other year we talk about Heather Galler and her wonderful world! Her work is full of patterns and beautiful colors. We talked about her and her work with our second graders and they came up with their vision of Heather's cats.
We have been talking about sculpture in class, inclding the different types, materials, techniques, etc... and we came up with this fun one.
Materials: 1 wooden block, 1 hanger, acrylic paint, and 1 sock. First of all, we drilled two little holes in the wooden block to insert the hanger (previously streched) Secondly, the hanger was attached to the wooden block. The students then shaped it and put the sock over the wire frame. Then, they put gloves on and it was time to get dirty! They then painted the whole sculpture with their hands, something that is always fun. After this lesson, we need to wait for the next one for them to design and apply the decorations, colours, etc... so stay tuned! Our grades 5 took the colour wheel a little bit further. We first made a very complete colour wheel working sheet, with new vocabulary, new terms, etc.... After day one, each student came up with one animal that they could turn somehow into a colour wheel animal. So here's some of them!
