4th Grade Current Class Highlights

Many of the earth's ecosystems will influence the 4th grader's art projects as they explore perspective, painting, collage, sculpture, ceramics and printing. The oceans and land masses of our earth will inspire and entice. The art of the Native American people and the animals of these unique ecosystems will teach and provide subject matter.
Peace Doves Using the universal symbol of peace, a dove, the 4th graders practiced their carving and graphic skills to create these fluid designs.






Native American Seed Pots Using clay and the pinch pot method of building, the class learned about the historical use of seed pots by Native Americans and created their own by blowing their spirit into the vessel. These will be carefully finished to honor the earth and to ensure a good crop, and then painted using traditional native designs.









Ceramic Exploration Using earthen clay and learning about its history, properties, characteristics and requirements, the class had fun creating pinch pots and pinch pot monsters.
