To the Continent of Asia we go!


We are in the home stretch of our travels around the world!!!

Asia and Europe left!! 

In Asia students focused on different countries and explore their native art.

Kindergarten stopped in India to discuss the role of the elephant as well as the bright colors and designs of Indian motifs! Below are pictures of our mixed media elephants!












3rd grade visited Russia where we explored the beautiful architecture of Saint Basil's Cathedral!  Inspired by the beautiful colors and patterns students discussed the profession of the Architect and designed their very own Russian buildings! We also discussed overlapping and perspective :)
Saint Basil's Cathedral, Moscow, Russia





6th-8th grade focused on the beautiful Blue and White porcelain pottery that came out of China during the Ming Dynasty. Students created a blue/white scratchboard to design their pottery! 
Photos to come :)

more to come: Russian Nesting Dolls,
