Pinwheels for Peace

2005-09-22T19:06:00.000-07:00

We participated in the Pinwheels for Peace project on World Peace Day- we actually had to postpone it one day since we had a rainstorm and didn't want our pinwheels to get wet.

We had about 300 pinwheels made by my art students and Mrs. Dyer's Science students. The pinwheels were beautiful and really made our temporary bungalow village campus look brighter.

These are hand designs by the sixth graders exploring the element of line. They also wrote poems about the designs and what they mean.

The sixth graders made Egyptian designs on marble tiles. The assignment was to use the style of drawing the Egyptians used on tomb walls to show themselves as a pharoah or queen and to incorporate some things from the modern world that has something to do with them. We used colored markers, watercolors, colored pencils, and oil pastels and added gold highlights with metallic markers.

We made Mandalas. Our goals were to use radial symmetry, use blending with the colored pencils and to create an interesting, original design. We looked at many different mandalas and talked about the significance of the circle.

These are the Retablos my students made. They chose subjects that were important to them- some chose things related to their families or cultural heritage, some chose activities that are important to them and some honored people they admire. We made the retablos using paper mache and the figures were made using salt dough.
