After deep discussion with our grade 5 and 6 about colours and its relation between themselves we decided to make this fantastic colour wheel clock. First thing we did was to work on a worksheet about vocabulary. We talked about what is a complementary colour, analogous colour, tints, shades, monochromatic, hues, values, etc... After playing with colours we started to work right away.

When I found out about Kimmy Cantrell I thought we must do something in the art room. He usually works with clay but we did it using cardboard instead. His use of asymmetry fascinated the children. His work reminded to them to Picasso and African art, so we discussed quite a bit about his work/life. To be honest I was really impressed of how deep those grades 3 got into discussion. To make this sculpture we just need, one metal hanger, one pair (in this case just one leg of the pair) of tights, a small wood block for the base and acrylic paint. Final result is always really cool.
Chinese New Year always happening around February. So if we want to have it ready by then we have to get to work on its project right after Christmas time. Last year we made this amazing Lanterns. The final result was stunning. We got around 30 lanterns so you can get an idea how was the main lobby of the school. Here you got some pictures, materials and instructions.
