The Houses of the Three Little Pigs
We began with wax crayons. The students created a map with a pathway to which they added the three houses: straw, stick, and brick. They then used watercolour paints to finish off the artwork.
Goldilocks was Naughty
As part of our Fairy Tale unit we have been doing some looking at things from different perspectives. For this book the children made ‘wanted’ posters for the crimes (breaking and entering, theft, malicious damage, trespassing) perpetrated by Goldilocks.
Clay Snow People
Students enjoyed the long, but rewarding, experience of creating these lovely art pieces. The first step was taking the natural earthen clay and forming the three sections around a wooden doweling. They pinched out a ‘carrot’ nose. They used more clay to create hats. After the clay dried out (about a week) the pieces were fired into bisque. The bisque was then glazed. The snow people were glazed white with the noses made orange. Students were able to choose different colours for their hats. The hats were glazed on top of their snow people. When everything was out of the kiln students added twigs (for arms). They also created felt scarves. Google eyes, pom poms, and the scarves were hot glue gunned on and the snow people were complete.
