Daly Academy- April 2018

4/3- Easter 

I saw this cute Easter bunnies on Pinterest and knew it would be a great lesson to talk about the art element line and patterns! The kids really enjoyed this craft, as did the IA's and SA's.

4/10- Water if Life Poster

Sweetwater Authority, the water company that supplies water to the school and parts of Chula Vista, is having a poster contest that I thought would be cool to enter. We talked about water conservation and how entering art contests, even simply ones like these, are how some artists start out. 

4/17- Japanese Kimonos & Spring Blossoms

The kids enjoyed this spring art craft, especially blowing with the straws! I didn't really understand how the example one had such perfectly blown lines? I just kept adding water to the paint but they ended up a little blotchy.

4/24- Earth Day- Dirt cups & Recycled magazine silhouette 

Earth means talking about conservation of our earth! Students were so-so about this magazine silhouette art but they were 100% into making a dirt cup (oreos, chocolate pudding, gummy worms)
