Week of 2/05/24 - 2nd and 3rd graders - Part 2

2nd graders returned to finish their Pacita Abad inspired artworks. Since the artist used a variety of materials like yarn, buttons and sequins in her work, I gave students similar materials including metallic markers and foam pieces to have them look at their patterns from the week before and create them inside each of their sections they colored the previous week. I love the variety of colors, patterns and materials in students' works!

 3rd graders created clay cupcakes incorporating a pinch technique for the liner and a coil technique for the frosting. I had last years group create these for the first time and had this year's group requesting the same. I now have close to 150 pieces drying waiting to be fired over the next 2 weeks. We will use glossy acrylic paint to finish pieces once fired!
