Art & Science, week 8 with Catholic Schoolhouse Curriculum

Art: Texture Study and A Duck. This week in art we learned more about texture, how artists create suggested texture not actual texture. Students used broken, paperless crayons to rub on paper with bark and leaves underneath. After practicing this for a time, they took a clean piece of paper and attempted to create the suggested texture of a pond or swamp. Finally, they drew a duck on their pond with oil pastels. Many students had their own ideas as well! *A CSH Art Curriculum Activity.

Science: Weather. This week in science we learned about how the earth's rotation affects the direction of wind and global wind patterns. We attempted an experiment similar to the one here. Older students drew the wind patterns on a blank globe. For more ideas, visit this website: DLESE Teaching Boxes.

See you next week!
