Fishback First Grade Fish

Well we are deep  into the second semester here at Fishback and I am just getting to the first real post of the year. I just wanted to let everyone know that Make Stuff  is not done, it was just on hiatus for a bit. 

Here are pictures of some wonderful fish paintings the 1st Grade made at the beginning of the year. They learned about mixing primary colors to make secondary colors, and had a great time doing it!

Sorry I don't have images of the painting days. As I'm sure you can imagine it is tough to snap pictures with a room full of first graders mixing paint for the first time. But the end results speak for themselves. 

Enjoy!

1st Grade St. Basil's

1st Grade looked at, and learned about this famous building located in Moscow. It is popularly known as St. Basil's Cathedral. We discussed the architectural style, and then attempted to mimic some of the characteristics of this remarkable structure.  

1st Grade really made these look great! Nice job!

Mondrian

1st Grade and Piet Mondrian 

Sorry about the lack of images.  Here the 1st grade is learning about vertical and horizontal lines and the primary colors using Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie Woogie" as a reference
