queen city....

Last but obviously not least... here is the final piece of art created from local communities: Charlotte!!!

The kids got to go on a walking tour of Charlotte. How fun to get to experience a big... ok...well small city, but big to a 3rd grader. Anyway, they walk around looking at the buildings and monuments and statues. Oh my!

In art class, we all decided on creating the Gold Rush trolley that Charlotte has for public transportation. The kids drew out the Gold Rush (they were allowed to take come creative liberties on how the trolleys actually look). Next, the students colored with color pencils. And finally they tissue paper collaged...




I love the tissue paper collage. It's a huge mess but very fun. It definitely takes patience and a certain level of skill using their little fingers.


Gold Rushhhhhhhhhh...
