First graders in classes 1-211 and 1-215 have been working on using pictures to tell a story. They are creating accordion books that follow one character though out their day. They started by creating a drawing of a character. Next, we scanned the images into the computer and used Photoshop to duplicate the images. Each student got a page with 4 copies of their character, one to go on each page. We used collage to show where they live, how they travel, where they go and the end of their day. The books look great and the students had a lot of fun learning about the scanner. They will be displayed as soon as they are put together.
Welcome to the South School Art Studio blog! I am an art teacher at South School in New Canaan, CT. In the South School Art Studio, I make masterpieces and messes with hundreds of artists and designers in grades K through 4. My teaching emphasizes incorporating contemporary artists into our curriculum, material explorations and student-directed art making. This is a place where everyone can see what we are up to.
This blog is primarily for the PS 58 community. I hope that families will keep up with what is happening in the studio and with everything that we are looking at. I want to increase the home-school collaboration in the arts so that they become not just a once-a-week activity but part of the students' everyday lives. I hope it works!
