2/3s Turn Their Classroom into a Hindu Temple

Hindu Temple Altar

Two Gods

Painting the Altar

Tracing the Projected God Images

The 2/3s have been studying India this spring. After a trip to the Hindu Temple in Latham, the students created their own versions of some of the Hindu gods. After drawing them, they projected the drawn images onto large paper. Then they painted, cut out and stuffed them so they became free-standing forms. Working from photos of the altar at the Temple they visited, they painted their own version. The transformed classroom reflected all their learning.

Parrot creation

TheK/1s have been studying the Costa Rican Rainforest. In art they made trees, leaves and vines, plus exotic, tropical flowers and parrots. These were all assembled in their classroom along with their research and drawings of rainforest life. The transformation was magical.
