Cherry blossom painting - After school

10/26/2016

 
We challenged to make cherry blossoms in Asian painting style. Our magic wand was the straw. We blew the watery black paint drops with the straws to make branches and then glued the pink tissue paper scraps as the flowers. Look how it came out! Aren't they all amazing?

October theme : Asian Art

10/8/2016

 

Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa

We started the first Asian art project with Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1830~1833).
Picture
The children were very interested in the fact that this intricate work is actually a print work. 
Long time ago, Hokusai carved the wood blocks for each color and made this beautiful master piece.

C made the background color dark  and black clouds because he thought it should show the  stormy weather. The upper left corner is the Mt.Fuji. He exactly understood the artist's story in the original piece. 
Picture
E always loves to draw hearts on her work.  "This is me and I am happy because this boat will become an airplane when the great wave comes." That's why she made those hearts. What an optimistic view!

The children first practiced a lot of times to draw the great waves.

Bravo to our 2nd grader L! He practiced to draw the waves a lot of times and finally came up with this awesome piece. He was very proud of his work. 

The preschoolers did the same theme as well. It was the collaboration work with the teacher. The waves were drawn with the white oil pastel so they could see the waves as they were painting and the teacher made this roaring waves with the oil pastel. The children were so excited to see how their work has been transformed to something like the original work in a large scale. They were very proud of their contribution in this collaboration piece!

We had a cool experiment with the magnets on our science day. It was a fun experiment and the children enjoyed testing different kinds of objects in the classroom to find if it was magnetic or non-magnetic.

"Magnet is MAGICAL!"L was very excited.

Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me! - After school

10/2/2016

 
Our 4th project of Eric Carle Study was Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me.
Its lovely illustration and the words drew the children's attention immediately.


Picture
The materials for this project were the coffee filters, popsicle sticks, straws, and the children's pictures that looked like they were climbing (we didn't have the pictures of the daddies so the children used their own photos for the project).
Picture
Picture
Hmm..how should I make the ladder..?

The children liked the idea that they could reach the moon by climbing on the ladder. The photos of them were the fun element of their work and it was interesting how the children's stories were all different.

L said, "I am going to reach the top of the ladder. Then I can get the moon!."
Picture
E said, "I got the moon for Daddy!"
