Students will look at the geometric and organic shapes of different types of stained glass to get inspired. 2ND GRADE: Students will be finishing their symmetrical creatures and creating paper masks using different folding techniques. 3RD GRADE: Students have finished their Aboriginal paintings and will begin a lesson on illustration using a warm or a cool color scheme. 4TH GRADE: Students are learning about masks from all around the world and how different cultures wear masks for different reasons. They will learn the difference between a two-dimensional object and three-dimensional object and will create two preparatory sketches to be used as a guide for their mask. They will be creating their mask using plaster strips and a plastic mold. After, their masks finish drying, they will begin painting and designing it according to one of their sketches. They will complete a self-evaluation upon completion.
