Domes and Towers Collages by Grade 5

These collages are still works in progress.  For inspiration we observed and discussed the architecture of St. Basil's Cathedral.  Students created a sketch of their own original building that incorporated at least four domes and four towers, as well as many patterns and designs.  We are now making collages of our buildings using construction and patterned paper.

Snake Sculptures by Grade 1

Clay Houses by Grade 4

Fourth graders sculpted these house facades after looking at house illustrations and drawing sketches.  They added many different textures using a variety of tools.  The final step was to paint them with watercolors.  They worked so hard, and the outcome is just amazing!
