Second graders completed their first sculptural project of the year. Using clay, they practiced different shaping techniques. Each student then created their own hybrid animal, by combing parts from two or more other animals.  In the library you will find some very rare creatures, including a slug bird, a flying turtle, and a venomous crocodile snake. Students brought their ideas to life with clay, and then painted them in a Oaxacan style, using lots of bright colors, patterns, stripes and dots .

Click here for close ups! First Graders studied the cave paintings found in Lascaux, France, dating back nearly 17,300 years. These paintings are some of the best known surviving Paleolithic Art.

Student Led Studio Sessions

What an awesome day in the Art room at CIPLC! Student Led Conferences were taking place  all across campus, and in the Art room students, parents, grandparents, aunts, and cousins came together  to create. Students in grades 1-6 taught their families one of the skills they had learned or practiced this year. Our grade six artists had their families try out blind contour drawing. Grade five artists were on hand to teach printmaking using styrofoam plates. Recycled paper making was a huge hit with our fourth grade  families and artists. Third grade artists brought Amedeo Modigliani's unique portrait style to life. Paper weaving was the domain of our second grade artists and families, and they  went  all out with  color and pattern. Our first grade artists demonstrated their sewing skills to their families.  The turnout was excellent and the art room was bustling all morning! I can't wait to see how our community continues to come together next year!...
