After School Imagination City

Imagination City
After School Academy
 6 classes grades 3rd-6th
Using recycled and re purposed materials
as well as basic art supplies students
create their own imaginary buildings.
The basic structures are primed and painted
and additional elements such as windows, doors
brick work...are added. More painting and gluing.

To complete the piece students may add landscape
elements and people/animals.  



































a little snow glitter adds the last detail to this lovely pink palace



 




Rainbow City 2012

What is a City? What does it sound like? What does it look like?
Compare and contast city and country. I found art prints of famous paintings very helpful in this discussion.

All of the building rectangles were precut from scraps-great way to use up those bits and pieces at the end of the year.


This kindergarten project connects to shape and color identification and introduces students to using a ruler (to create a horizon line). Crayons, color pencils, metalic crayons and paper scrape details were added later to complete each cityscape and help it come alive!
