from the atelier: 5/15/07

Hello, everybody. The end of the year is drawing near, and the children have been very busy with different projects.

Preschool
The three-year-old class
After creating paper sculptures for Mother's Day gifts, the children have begun working on a large paper sculpture collaboratvely, to take with them to the four-year-old class. The children (above) are ripping up the old paper to put into the blender to create the paper pulp to make new paper. The week before, some of the children went on a hunt to find natural materials, while others gathered materials from the classroom to add to the texture of the paper.

The four-year-old class...

...is still busy working on their rainbow mural and end-of-the-year self-portraits.

Kindergarten:

Ms. Hitomi's class is also working on their end-of-the-year self-portraits.

Ms. Hoddick's class finished up self-portraits and has been working on another clay project. The children have to build something that stands on four legs.
