Second Grade Sculptures

Second Graders at St. Thomas's Day School study and learn about their immigrant ancestors.  The art projects that we do are usually based on arts and crafts from around the world.  These Calder-esque sculptures were created after the students learned about Mexican Alebrije carvings.  (Only the first half of the sculptures have been completed and photographed.  The second half of the class will finish their sculptures next week.)

SECOND GRADE FIGURES

In Second Grade we have been working on creating positionable figures to use in our artwork.  I had superheroes in mind when we began the project, but I've been sideswiped by a Chagall inspired piece to get our juices going.  
These figures are tricky to put together but the Second Graders have put their minds (and fingers) to getting the job done well.
As a result, very few of the figures have been completed.

Picture
Today we read a book about the life of Russian born painter Marc Chagall.  We looked at some of his work and began to brainstorm how we would create our own dreamy paintings in his style.

Picture
We think we'll need a combination of materials to achieve the look we're after.  Including:  watercolor crayons, regular crayons, regular watercolors....maybe some pencils?

Picture
We came up with a sample and one of the student artists even had a chance to begin her piece.  We will keep you posted....
