Here is how we kicked off the school year... I am so thrilled to have FINALLY created a collaborative project that also reflects my philosophy as an art teacher. I have been wanting to create something, anything with whole school. Since this was the first year attempting, we keep it to K-8. Next year, perhaps we will go for K-12!
Kim, the 7th and 8th grade art teacher did a beautiful job explaining the project...
The students in kindergarten through 8th grade created artworks of their hands from recycled materials, and combined them all together to make an artwork of the world. Each hand artwork is unique and created with thought and care, just as each of our students are unique individuals. All of the hands were combined into an artwork of the world, visually conveying how we all can join together and contribute to something bigger than ourselves.

Through
this creative
process the students were able to explore the many repurposed journaling
materials and treasures that can be found in the art rooms, which are
perfect materials
for creating unique and sustainable art pieces. The art program at
Woodlawn provides students with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to
incorporate sustainable practices and materials into their own art.
