Second grade students are learning about art of various cultures starting with prehistoric cave art. They will be creating artist's trading cards of the art they learn about.
We have left the caves and advanced to Egyptian Art where we learned to walk like an Egyptian and about hieroglyphics and pyramids. Then we learned about the architecture of the the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Currently we are learning about the mosaics of the Middle Eastern countries. Next we will make a quick stop to look at some examples of Indian art before we travel to Australia where we will study Aboriginal x-ray painting and dream paintings. The art from our Australian project will be used for our new PTA / Art fund raiser. More information about this activity will be coming home soon.
