Sketching Highlights

Fajah's zentangle is worth clicking on for a close-up. There are some really cool details she included. Do you spy a bird, a few people and more? Zentangles are fun because they are no mistakes.
Ellusion's dragon quick draw is impressive!

And Derrick's only in 3rd grade!
Lorenzo, also in 3rd grade, is always doing cool drawings like this volcano.
Lydell's sketch is real interesting.
And this is a sneak peak to the USA map Zentangle project we are working on right now. Deandre did some of the more difficult zentangle designs, click to zoom.

Picture Perfect Penguins

After watching a movie about Cinderella Penguin and her glass FLIPPER, K-2nd grade collaged their own penguins with orange triangles for beak and flippers. They decorated the frame with fish since Penguins eat fish.

Masai Tribe: Never lets the tradition die.

3rd-5th graders learned about the Masai tribe while creating these colorful collages.
The Masai people of Kenya and northern Tanzania adorn themselves with "Shukas", the sheets wrapped around their bodies. These are often in bold colors with stripes and plaid. Since we are studying color, we put are “Shukas” in order of the rainbow (ROYGBP).
We used different types of lines to make the stripes and the decorative cloth. We added necklaces and earring on our Masai people, since they are very popular in their culture.
Some of our people might be jumping because Masai warriors are well known for their competitive jumping. Another fun fact about the Masai tribe is that they drink cow blood during celebrations and as nourishment for the sick.
