Art_Around the World

Fourth graders will travel the world in art this year! They will look at art exemplars, media and methods from Africa, Latin America, and Asia.  One of their first activities was to draw a world map from memory, what they knew or though they knew. Here are some examples: 

Their first major project is called "I Am the World" where they express themselves (as individuals, members of different groups, and citizens of the world) using imagery.  They made a chart to help them collect imagery, they looked up images up on CC Search and explored an app called "Beautiful Planet".  They also wrote a draft of an "I am" poem. 

The girls also started a list of things they are passionate about. All this ideation will turn into a collage of imagery that represents their worlds - a great starting point from which to travel beyond!
