Australia!

Last Monday, we looked at Australian art.  Most of the art is based off of dreams.  The paintings are also made with many little dots.  We used q-tips with glitter and paint on them to create these “dreamscapes.”

Around the World Class goes to Eygpt…

During our Around the World art class on Monday, we started off by creating our own alphabet similar to the hieroglyphics from Eygpt.

Once we were finished with our alphabet, we started to work on our sarcophagus.   To make our sarcophagus, we used cardboard and tin foil. We used our secret alphabet to write messages.  Then we painted patterens on the sarcophagus to make it beautiful and more interesting.   After the paint was dry we drew background pictures of Eygpt.  Naomi had just studied Eygpt, so her drawing includes the Nile River.
