We had an amazingly loving birthday celebration of a 9 years old girl. Hip hip hurray!

Relief sculptures in sgraffito technique
Here are some slap sculptures of moths and butterflies in make. I found this project on the wonderful blog of https://www.smallhandsbigart.com/.
Unfortunately we had no time to do sgraffito because there’s almost a month of holidays ahead of us so we had to decide between the paint or the pattern. And since the reliefs had to be wrapped in a foil we decided for the pattern.
Now if they don’t dry before we return we will do sgraffito on the plates.
March Madness
While creating our poetry work for the March Madness call, we looked into the work of artist Tom Phillips, some pointillist painters and the movement itself.
In addition students worked on a poem build out of words written on the page of a book so it is coincidental sort of writing. It was quite an interesting work and the whole process of art is left to the children. Nice, open, free project.
Riding like Der blaue Reiter
Not the first time I am posting this sort of project but every time it is unique and I am impressed by the work. You can read about it in some posts bellow.
Landscapes
This sort of painting is quite an easy straightforward task as it comes with a reference. It was a fun project and kids were deeply into it.
Joan Miró
In our PYP Unit “Role models” Grade 2 discussed Joan Miró. We broke his colours down to basics, black and white and his shapes to little potatos that are sometimes overlapping opening possibilities for the third shape and a new colour. We added lots of soft lines.
