Art Program:

Week 1: Continuing on our recycling unit, we will make coasters out of the top of plastic containers and use pictures from old magazines and decorate the coasters with a variety of sequences, colored papers etc.

Week 2: This week we will make flowers out of recycled products using egg cartons, mini paper cupcakes, beads and other items to create our perfect flowers.

Week 3: Mosaics are made of tiny colored pieces of stone, pottery, glass or other materials, arranged together and set in plaster or cement to make patterns and images. They can be used to decorate a floor, a wall or in some cases a ceiling. Mosaics have a long history. They were created in Ancient times in Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. When the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum (which were buried under lava when Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79) were rediscovered, many wonderful mosaics were found. Since we are continuing our recycling unit, we are going to be making paper mosaics using beans. We will cut out our first initial in our name and glue beans on thick cardstock. When it is dry, we will use magnetic tape so that we may hang our work up on the refrigerator.
