Alexander Calder Sculptures by Grades K, 1 and 2

Kindergarten, first and second grade all focused on the sculptural work of Alexander Calder for inspiration for this sculpture lesson.  Students figured out how to get a little motion in their artwork, using beads, wires, pipe-cleaners and more.  Look at how amazing these Kindergarten  creations came out....!

Sculptures Inspired by African Myth by Grade K

We read the African myth "Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky" by Elphistone Dayrell.  Students created three sculptures inspired by the story; a moon, a sun and a fish.  Lastly, they decorated a small bag to look like the decorated African homes we saw in the illustrations of the myth.  As well as being fabulous works of art, the bags are also a handy way to transport their sculptures home!

Pattern Necklaces by Grade 1

First graders sculpted a textured pendant and beads in many shapes.  They then strung the necklaces making sure they were the same on both sides (symmetrical!)
