Picture Parade

Our classroom is filled with creative students, and we have been lucky enough to have a very creative parent come to our classroom once a week to teach our students about art through the Picture Parade program.  The students have learned about different types of art and artists.  They have been thinking about and discussing the art that is presented each week.  Most recently the class has been working on creating tightrope walkers.  Using a variety of materials, such as corks, wires, feathers, cups, pipe cleaners, screws, and bolts, the student have had the challenge of constructing a figure that is balanced in way to sit upright on a tightrope that is currently stretched across our classroom.  The students have certainly enjoyed using their hands to create their projects!  Feel free to stop in anytime to check out our tightrope walkers!
