James Rizzi sculptures

 

Check out our display case, with these James Rizzi inspired structures and modes of transportation!!! I am obesessed! The students worked in teams to create the one air piece, one ground transportation and one building. They used construction paper, tempera paint and black sharpie to create the features of the artwork and for a base they used old boxes. 

Torn paper Christmas Trees

Students in my kindergarten class read the book "Perfect Square". I then gave them a piece of light or dark green origami paper to tear and rip just like in the book. It started as a perfect spyware but turned itself into something beautiful...in this case a Christmas tree.  We added sequins, rectangle presents that we put line patterns on, and printed snowflakes in the background with the bottoms of soda bottles! The kids had so much fun with this activity!
