Cardboard Relief Cities -
Fifth Grade
Fifth
graders learned about Frank Stella and had the choice of doing the usual shapes relief sculpture out of cardboard or these
cityscapes. They began with a base shape, then added the
buildings. In the foreground, they were to add a street, bridge,
or water. To finish, they painted them to look like metal (silver
or gold spray-paint) or stone (Make-It-Stone, Fleckstone, with a
base color first or it takes way to much to cover it). To hang
them, a wire was added to the back.

Third Grade Felt Molas - Art
of the Kuna Indians
Third grade learned about the
Kuna Indians of the San Blas Islands - then created felt layered
molas. They began by drawing a leaf template and traced that on to
the top layer of felt. Then, they created the
"french-fry" shaped windows through which the next
layers would show. The second layer of felt was cut smaller than
the top, the last layer was left whole. Scraps were placed behind
some of the windows to add color. They used a back-stitch for the
veins and a blanket stitch to finish them off around the edges.
Denise has them work on another project at the same time as this one because she spends a bit of time
threading needles and working one on one with them. She just pulls
a group out of the current project and they sew. All end up doing
the sewing. Working in smaller groups makes it more manageable.
