Week of 5/22/2023 - Last rotation with 2nd and 3rd grade - Hats!

 2nd and 3rd graders returned for their last rotation for this school year!

We looked at the works of Hawaiian artist moses who cut, folded and twisted paper bags from grocery bags to create the most amazing hats! His works were donated to the Mingei museum in Balboa park in San Diego and I had the opportunity to see this exhibit last summer. We had a class discussion about his works and I let students know that materials for art don't have to expensive and that works can be created out of something simple like paper bags or paper!!

 I used paper bags with one class and switched to rectangle pieces of paper with the other classes since the store was out of large paper bags. Students used tin foil, paint sticks and construction paper to create hats for themselves that they wore and looked at using mirrors at their table.

 Such a nice variety of works!!
