All Wrapped Up for the HOLIDAYS! Another fun paint party

Another fun night painting with friends!  These 2 parties I held out one of our community colleges, ASU-Newport and at my middle school, Southside Middle School.  They are all so adorable!   More photos at my site www.facebook.com/inspirationpointparty

 

Overlapping Trees Paint Party

Dem Bones...positive and negative space

Somehow forgot to post my last set of "space" pieces that my 6th graders created.  
We researched facts about our skeletons to add our writing piece to our art.

Bat Before the Moon - 4th graders & Stellaluna

This lesson turned out even better than expected!!!  LOVED IT!  We used Takashi's piece as our inspiration, the fabulous book Stellaluna who you can also see at www.storylineonline.com for some of my favorite actor and actresses reading the books aloud, our first attempt at charcoal, learned how to make symmetrical bats, did a ven-diagram about bats vs. birds and finally I taught them how to write bat in Japanese. See info below.
