This week, we learned about illustrators who use collage to make their art. On Monday, we read books by Lois Elhert and began creating our own collages using many different kinds of paper. On Tuesday, we read another Lois Elhert story along with a story about Henri Matisse, one of the most well-known artists who used collage. We also continued making collages during choice time. On Wednesday, we began reading stories by Leo Lionni and comparing his collages with Lois Elhert’s. On Thursday, Mrs. Chris came in to make leprechaun traps with us! Each student got a shoe box to decorate and engineer into a trap for a leprechaun. Some students made holes in the top of their boxes for leprechauns to fall into, while others propped the boxes open with popsicle sticks and lured the leprechauns in with messages like “free gold” and “welcome.” On Friday, we read more stories by Leo Lionni and spent a lot of time outside in the warm air and wet playground! Next week, we will have a Saint Patrick’s Day surprise, learn about various artists, and take a trip to the library!
Making a collage
Making collage binoculars
Showing me his “police stick” and police face
Proud of her telescope
Our new bulletin board
Making leprechaun traps
So excited about his new tiger
A “ninja” and his puzzle
Playing in the lake that took over our picnic tables!
