Lesson aligned with the ELA Common Core unit "Stories Worth Telling Again and Again"
We celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month! Students looked at the art of Diego Rivera. They had great discussions on how art can tell a story and that we can look for clues in a painting to try to figure out the story. Students filled their sombrero art with symbols and lines to tell a story about themselves! They drew with oil pastels, and were excited to discover what happened when we painted over everything with watercolors! I hung the sombreros down our main hallway interspersed with papel picado made by our art club. It was very festive indeed!

Third grade students learned about when a line becomes a shape. They made a mountain of letters using their names. Students learned techniques to make bubble or block letters, learned about having a balanced piece of art and the use of overlapping in their art. Once their mountain was built, they added all sorts of great lines and patterns.
