Welcome to a brand-new year at GLOBE! Ms. Cottrell and I are so excited to begin new projects with your students, and we are off to a great start!
In 2nd and 3rd grade, we started the year off with a creativity challenge - given similar materials, students had to create an original artwork without drawing, coloring, or painting. Here are some of the results!
4th and 5th graders worked in teams for a design challenge - using various materials, they had to create a freestanding sculpture, making it as tall as possible. After the challenge (which was much more difficult than the students expected!), we talked about what we can learn from the artistic process; specifically collaboration, teamwork, and flexibility. 
Grades 2-5 have now begun making lanterns for the BeltLine Lantern Parade on September 12, and they are looking good so far! 2nd and 3rd graders have been making geometric forms using popsicle sticks, while 4th and 5th graders are constructing organic forms using wooden coffee stirrers.
More updates to come!
