January- February Second Grade

While we are waiting for the end of the year, we are working on our Mendhi Hands that we started in the beginning of the year. Students traced their hands at the beginning and now are adding details to their hands. At the end of the year they will trace their hand again to see how much they have grown.

This project allows students to use art as visual text. Students get reintroduced to Aboriginal Art and the legend of the serpent. They make their serpents and in the inside they use Aboriginal symbols to tell of a travel. They finished their work using the dot method of painting.

Students make African masks inspired byLois Malou, an African American artist.
