Lights, Camera, FASHION!

5th graders had a mission to design 3 outfits for 1 person with a common motif, or theme. They did a lot of pre-writing and designing, spent several weeks perfecting their outfits, and then reflected on their work as designers. I know I would LOVE to wear some of these outfits!














Kinder & 1st grade collages

It has been such a busy year that Ms. Schubow forgot to post some of the earliest work by kinders and 1st graders! They learned about different materials and different methods (or ways of using the materials). Students learned about 5 different lines and also how to make these lines different. Kinder students also practiced their tracing skills in their fall leaf collages! Enjoy!









Do you see the hidden face?
