The 3rd and 4th graders are creating art related to East Asia. Our first projects with this unite coincide with Chinese New Year. The Chinese follow a lunar calender, and so this year Chinese New Year began on February 3rd. The festivities continue for 15 days and are all about bringing good luck for the new year. In Chinese cities, a big part of the celebration centers around a dragon parade. The dragon is similar to a huge puppet that is carried by many people, sometimes over 50. The 4th graders created their own miniature dragon puppets.
The 5th graders have been learning about Greek pottery. This week they've been creating a coil built vase. Later they'll be painting the vase with a scene from a mythological story that they created.
