Wire Towers with P6! First we talked about towers they knew around the world and I introduced them to new ones as well. Next they got busy sketching out their ideas. After, they got to work, and turned their wire into unique towers of their own!

P5 learned about American artist Keith Haring and street art. They then drew graffiti style names for the start of our school year here! Many students found the shadows especially challenging to draw.

Admiring the results!

Stirring the colors to make patterns...
