1 grade:

before)

which the students will decorate to represent that animal’s habitat.
- Written portion being writing about their animal/explaining it.
- Pinch/pull method
3rd grade:
- Possible radial weaving… I will need to look into radial weaving, though we are
working on a backup plan if this falls by the wayside, working on patterns.
4th grade:
- Andy Warhol pop art printmaking
o EZ Cut blocks using linoleum cutter tools
 Big safety talk needed
- Multiple color inks on multiple color sheets of paper to create the Warhol look
o A 3x3 grid, 9 total final prints.
5th grade:
- Papier Mache Keith Harring figure project
o Personal identity being the main idea
- Students will be asked to create figures out of papier Mache that imitate the style of
Keith Harring’s figures, focusing on their gestural nature and how they look like they
are in motion.
o Students will pose/be asked to pick from poses that reflect their own
interests.
 Even “stationary” interests have specific poses associated with them,
so this will be pointed out to students who think they can’t do this.
