Winter art for students in grades 1-4 this year was a TDU unit between art, music and PE with the theme of 'The Nutcracker Ballet' by Tchaikovsky. As students sang and danced to the beautiful music, students also created artworks for the selection.
For students in 2nd grade, it was 'the mouse mask' and 'sword for the soldiers'.
For students who created the mouse masks, they first traced their design onto felt, cut it out and added lots of details to create their own version of a mouse mask. For students who created the swords, they first started off by wrapping foil around their cardboard tube cutout. Then they added the handle and decorated the sword with gold, silver pens, pompoms, ribbons, shiny origami paper to give it a festive look. Our second grade artists were very proud to use their artful creations for the music concert!
