We have been enjoying getting our hands dirty in Art class!
Our Grade 1’s spent a wonderful afternoon yesterday creating nice, fat, jolly looking snowmen – and some snowwomen, as well!! Students built these snowpeople around a wooden dowel, attached to a baseboard, which creates a hollow form inside. They then made hats for them. I attached these after school when I took the snowmen off of the dowel so they could dry.
As our Grade 2’s had made snowpeople last year in my class, this year they created Christmas bells. Most of the students made these last week – two who were absent last week worked yesterday on their bells. We were very fortunate to have Mrs. Figueroa’s student EA (Miss M) come into our room as an extra helper. You can tell which are the most recently made due to the colour difference.
Once all of the pieces are dried they will be fired in the kiln, glazed, and then re-fired. Final touches will be added and then they will be ready to go home!!
