Vase Face
3rd grade started a 3 part project that involves drawing a profile/vase. This is a difficult exercise because it requires a lot of concentration and hand eye coordination. Students used rulers to help them guide their drawing. They will complete two vase pattern drawings, cut them out and select one to use as their template for completing the
project. The last step will involve adding decorative mosaic tiles.

Art History
We started the year with a trip around the world. All classes learned about the 7 continents and had a chance to view samples of art from different lands. Our theme for the year is "It's a small World" so let the ride begin.
