Second Grade Indian Elephants

 Second Graders looked at images of Indian Elephants from the International Folk Art Museum. We read the story Elephant Dance, a story about a boy and his grandfather from India. We looked at pictures of the various regions of India before painting the setting. Students learned to draw an elephant, sponge painted the skin and created a patterned blanket.

Third Grade Treehouses

 Third Grade students learned about the Canadian artist, Emily Carr before painting their sky. They used different shades of green for their Foreground, Middle Ground and Background.
