Happy December!
I'm excited to share that our 5th and 6th graders have art on display at the Woodridge Public Library.
They have been hard at work these past couple weeks making mixed media collages.
Students started with practicing drawing from observation (what you are looking at).
After we gained confidence through practice, we began selecting and working on our animals for the project.
Students were allowed to choose how they created their animals, giving them the freedom to choose what materials they felt most confident in.
Students were also guided through different options on how to paint their backgrounds with watercolors.
Their animals were cut out and glued onto their painted backgrounds, creating a mixed media collage.
Our Fifth graders were focusing on Endangered animals. While our Sixth graders were creating brand new animals (fantasy animals) by combining two animals into one.
This display is found on the second floor and will be up for the rest of the month of December!
