The Fantastic Jungles of Henri Rousseau

Today was Red Clover Day at Fayston School!  Each teacher team chose a different Red Clover book and led an activity about that book.  Mrs. J. and I chose the Fantasic Jungles of Henri Rousseau.

We provided students with many different choices of arts media and let the go WILD making jungle animals, plants and flowers.  Our jungle mural perfectly captures the vibrancy of Henri Rousseau's work.

Here is our mural:

Ugly Dolls take shape!

I am so excited for the enthusiasm that fifth and sixth grade artists are showing for their Ugly Doll project!  Several artists started my Monday off right by showing up to art class with finished Ugly Dolls that they had worked on over the weekend.  What a treat!  Stay tuned for more of these creative creatures!
